No because the same test still applies. Even though the class may be large (i.e. like an anti-trust settlement with Microsoft where they end up sending everyone a $5 gift certificate or something just as useless), this is a matter where the damage would affect every American and therefore is not unique enough. It can’t be something that affects the populace in general as the result of some unique relationship between Plaintiff and Defendant.

The only one I saw that actually seemed to “have some merit” would be a soldier suing. That would probably be dismissed on other grounds as well, not to mention the nightmare faced by the soldier who did so.

Again, the only entities that seem to have standing would be Congress or some other governmental entity responsible for approving electors and/or counting the electoral votes.
