They set it aside not because of the issue (voter fraud) but rather saying that the GOP is not a party who is harmed. Individual voters are harmed, the GOP isn't a registered voter.

I wouldn't want the USSC to hear it if it is flawed. Nor would I what the USSC to hear it and amend it to give a ruling, right or wrong.

What precedent would that set for lower courts? Could could begin issuing any decision related to the case or not.

“They set it aside not because of the issue ...”

I didn’t like that when it happened, but I understood it. Then I wondered why someone “with standing” didn’t take the issue to SCOTUS. Maybe it’ll happen...

I agree.

That’s why, in Heller, they chose plaintiffs very carefully, so that it was plain who the aggrieved party seeking redress was.

If the GOP had formed a coalition of say 20 registered in-state voters and had them make the filing, the case probably would have been heard.

That does not explain why the USDOJ does not file against Brunner. I wrote them an email complaining about this. Don’t expect them to do their job, but thought I would try.
