You think you are making a jurisdictional argument, however you are really making a standing argument. Standing argument: Because the US Constitution gives the State legislatures power over their own elections - both state and federal, the only people that could bring the Colorado case are members of the Colorado legislature, therefore the Colorado Supreme Court should have dismissed the case because it had the Wrong Plaintiffs. Only the Colorado legislature would have standing to bring the case.

Only the Colorado legislature would have standing to bring the case. OK ... I understand what you're saying here. But in this matter, the Legislature wouldn't even need to bring the case. They should have on their own the power to decide how to run the election. Whether as a matter of jurisdiction or of standing, the CO court is way out of line getting involved the way it did.
Where courts could be involved (IMO) is when the State boards of elections are not running the election the way the Legislature told them to. That was an issue in 2020 and will no doubt be an issue next year. I don't see it applying in this matter, however.
