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.

It's called the Administrative State. Laws and constitutions mean nothing to it. No one has any real rights anymore, including the right to a free and fair election. These people rule by legal mumbo-jumbo like "standing" and "rational basis" for things that are clearly legally or constitutionally wrong.
