As not an Attorney, and furthest thing from it (PhD Stats), I feel like standing is a joke. I do not know as I said I am not an attorney, but to throw a case away like they did today when America is split 50/50 and none of the lower courts want to touch any of the cases brought, I feel like it does a great disservice to our country. Every case thus far has been dismissed due to standing. Ohh you sued before the election... No damages, dismissed standing... Ohh you sued after? nope shoulda brought this up before the election, dismissed standing.
Once again, I don't know but I feel like SCOTUS should have heard it as it involved 4 states acting unconstitutionally that affected an election for federal office.
Exactly. Judges are using the technicalities of law to avoid actually looking at the evidence and taking a tough stand, even thought the result of these dismissals is to deny the constitutional rights of the whole nation to free and fair elections.
It's maddening.
I know Trump and his team have other legal avenues left to pursue, but I'm feeling the ticking clock very acutely.
Number one: SCOTUS should have heard this case because it involves the most sacred right as an American citizen: the right to vote. And to expect that vote to be counted in a fair and ethical manner. That you are entitled to one vote, and only one vote, and one that shouldn’t be stolen from you. AND that the ballot you cast is counted for the person you voted for. Number two: To hear the election fraud and allow Trump to take office in 2021. As much as we want Trump in office, number one is the most important reason and SCOTUS should have stepped up to the plate
Funny... the situation they describe involves outrage after 20k vote lead for Trump evaporates the next day. Close, they only missed the actual total by 680k.
To be fair, this was written before corona. This goes to show what an evil genius move it was to keep the pandemic scare alive for an extra 40 weeks after, "two-weeks to flatten the curve."
So standing is a weapon to use to .... deny a case the judge/panel doesn't want to take, or widened to accept a case they want to take (ie when the claimant is one they "favor")
Have a link? I would be interested to learn more on that

That's my take.
