The injury took place when the fraud occurred. When an observer was stopped. When a ballot was destroyed. When no signature was reviewed. When “adjudicated” ballots were tampered with. When registration files were corrupted. That’s when our right to vote was injured. And a state represents all of its citizens whose vote doesn’t mean shit when other states cheat.

No, the injury doesn't occur until certification. Until that point a state could see the error of its ways and repair the fraud that has taken place. Basically you have to give the state in the wrong a chance to fix it first.

Ah must be some new rule of law.

So when my house is robbed I’m obliged to let the thief give me back the stolen valuables?

I don’t think that’s true of stolen valuables and I don’t think it’s true of stolen votes either.

If someone broke into your house to steal something, had a change of heart and didn't steal anything you couldn't ask they be charged with theft (doesn't mean they wouldn't still get charged with something else).
