....the USSC said it would not consider the Texas case for procedural reasons, because Texas lacked "standing" to bring it.....

Trump was short-changed by his legal team. The salient point in my mind is not the "arguing" so m uch as
overlooking key legal issues that would have forced the recalcitrant USSC to examine anything other than "standing."

Don't you have to have standing before they'll examine anything?

For the life of me, I don't see how the State of Texas does not have "standing". In my mind, every citizen has "standing" in this because everyone has a stake in the outcome. A private citizen would have to start in the lower courts though while Texas, being a state, can go to the front of the line.

I disagree. Let me gently suggest that they filed many lawsuits by people other than the candidate and his electors, (who have better standing), to probe where to file their better cases. Trying to get the right judge to hear the case at the trial level is of great importance, since a hostile judge can just choose not to believe the facts of the fraud and torpedo the case. Some of these cases have also produced evidence that can be used either in subsequent cases, the state legislatures, or the joint session of Congress in January that decides which electors to accept or reject.

Isn’t is funny how Republicans never have standing in anything?
