From what I understand, SCOTUS denied Texas' standing on claims that they were not personally injured in the case of election fraud. If you read the statement, it does not suggest that it is ignoring claims of fraud. I know it is easy to feel demoralized, so take a break from the internet and take some breaths (that's what I did and it helped). This one ruling doesn't mean that another case can't go to SCOTUS. I understand the suspicion surrounding the judges at this moment, and keep that skepticism. All I'm trying to say is that this ruling doesn't cancel other possible (and successful) lawsuits. Stand strong my friends, and remain ever vigilant.

It bothers me that Alito and Thomas dissented. If this was a cut and dry procedural problem wouldn't they have been unanimous? It at least tells me that Alito and Thomas believed they should take the case up. Seems compromised but time will tell.
It is odd that only two dissented. I read from another post that the scope of the Texas case was asking for the institution of state legislation to decide the verdict of the election, but that is already in progress. From what I can understand, it means that it wouldn't accomplish anything different that what we are already banking on. As you said, time will certainly tell.
