“Good effort but unfortunately it will fail in SCOTUS.”

Not convinced you are correct. While the states to get a broad autonmy when it comes to how the manner in which elections are held, in this case it appears that AZ state officials have perjured themselves in testimony before a federal court.

While states can invoke Article I Section 4 of the Constitution on state privileges for the election process, the process itself cannot allow for a fraudulent outcome that would result in harm to the state’s citizens or other states.

I don’t think SCOTUS will entertain fraud, or the potential for fraud, as a legitimate state claim. That is, if in fact fraud can be demonstrated.

SCOTUS can absolutely require that any state election process be auditable for accuracy and legitimate election outcomes.

My point was I don’t think they will entertain the regulation of what form of balloting they want electronic or otherwise. They will most likely rule that it is up to the people of that state and that states legislators. Which is what the Constitution protects. Now if a majority of people and their legislators want to change it they most likely will rule for their right to do so.
