" Any amendment such as this has to include a provision giving any state standing to bring an action under it, even against another state."

I would be in favor of such if they can prove harm (and yeah - there are clearly scenarios for that). Would instantly move into SCOTUS for such claims.

Well, as soon as you add the requirement to "prove harm", you're right back into the usual standing analysis. And the general rule is that one state can't prove harm based on how another state chose to conduct its own elections.

That's why you need explicit standing built into the law/amendment
