The problem with this analogy is that Texas is not suing the auctioneer (Electoral College). Texas is suing the competitor. Still the right thing to do.

Auctioneer can also be construed as the legislatures of the four defendant states.

Actually, there should be more states than the four defendant states presently named.

The problem with this analogy is that Texas is not suing the auctioneer (Electoral College). Texas is suing the competitor.

True. The lawsuit is against the competitor (PA, GA etc) brought before a court whose sole and primary purpose is to ensure the auctioneer (U.S. Constitution) applies the rules equally to all.

Correct analysis in my opinion. More over, the activity is the competitor is engaged in is criminal. They are using 14A as their basis, which is straightforward.

This case will deal with the federal election, but it doesn’t address the proximate cause of the suit, which is the criminal activity. If there is evidence foreign governments are involved, it’s no longer criminal. It’s constitutional/military.
