Wrong again, Canadian. Please please please stop pontificating about our constitution, you are always wrong! I cannot ever remember an instance when you were on target.
Try doing some research before you make your sweeping statements.

An illegitimate federal election in one state disenfranchises to some degree the other 49 states, sometimes greatly, sometimes minimally. The injured citizens of the other 49 states certainly have the right to redress.

In addition, it is a constitutionally mandated duty of the federal govt to guarantee fair elections in every state. Last time I checked, the Supreme Court is a part of the federal govt, and has a duty to address the states’ concerns.

Personally, I think the only way out of this is for the states to call a constitutional convention, relocate our capital city and dissolve the federal govt. Better this, than bloodshed which I fear may happen. Of course, the chance of that happening is nil.

Even if I was a Canadian (which I’m not), you’d still be wrong.

States take official actions that affect other states all the time. It doesn’t mean these states all have standing to make demands of each other o we these matters in federal courts. I’ve never been to law school, and I know that.

In addition, it is a constitutionally mandated duty of the federal govt to guarantee fair elections in every state.

That’s interesting. How does that apply to a presidential election when the Constitution doesn’t even require states to hold elections to determine presidential electors?

In 2020, Texas filed a lawsuit to block the electoral vote certification process in other states — on the grounds that the voting processes in those states did not conform to what the legislatures of those states had required under the law.

Meanwhile, Governor Abbott of Texas authorized the use of ballot drop boxes in Texas — in direct violation of Texas law — for the same 2020 election. So by the standards laid out in the Texas lawsuit, TEXAS should not have had its electoral votes count in the 2020 presidential election.

The whole thing is just ludicrous.

Where in the Constitution do you find such a duty?
