When the other dominoes (states) begin to fall, one of the other states will forge a complaint to SCOTUS in a Petition for Writ of Quo Warranto, all the states will back that and join other groups to push it.

The petition for a writ of quo warranto by statute must be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. It is not within the original jurisdiction of SCOTUS. SCOTUS rejected its original jurisdiction when it refused to hear the Texas v. Pennsylvania case. SCOTUS can hear appeals from the U.S. District Courts, issue prerogative writs, but quo warranto isn't one of them.

The AZ Senate is calling for an extension to see what other elected offices could be brought under the microscope. This could possibly bring them more leverage because like so many other ‘red states’, it’s a good bet that their ranks have been infiltrated by persons in office due to machine voting.

The theory is that the local pols get the machines so they can guarantee themselves reelection. It will be curious to see if that theory has validity.

This would be a new case for original jurisdiction. It may be that quo warranto could only be brought AFTER inauguration.

The 9th Circuit held the proper venue for quo warranto was as you wrote, DC District Court, but that would seem for individual plaintiffs.

I believe States always have original jurisdiction versus the United States. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
