The US Supreme Court has dismissed Texas state's lawsuit against the presidential election result.
Texas had no legal justification to intervene in the elections of another state, the court said on Friday (local time).
Texas had sued the election results in four other states and wanted to overturn Joe Biden's victory against Donald Trump.
The state attorney general of the state, Ken Paxton, accused the states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin of illegally changing the electoral process in the middle of the pandemic.
In particular, the authorities failed to prevent postal voting fraud.
As a result, the weight of the legally cast votes was reduced.

In the pandemic, more Americans than ever before voted by letter in the presidential election on November 3.
In the states, the authorities said they did not find any signs of fraud that had an impact on the election result.
Texas demanded that the four states' 62 electoral votes not be counted.
The Democrat Joe Biden got 306 of the votes and is well ahead of President Donald Trump with 232. Trump has not admitted defeat and speaks of fraud without providing reliable evidence.
Numerous lawsuits at federal and state level came to nothing.
