>>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.<<
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.

Maybe the USSC decision says it's still a issue that belongs in the State's. Let me restate the case ... "The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College." (Bush vs Gore, IIB). At what point is that, I haven't a clue. Possibly the election isn't an election till the votes are cast and the individual electors (Electoral College) actually meet.
Perhaps since the State of Ohio hasn't acted it is not within the federal purview yet. Or maybe voter fraud means you must actually have to have voted fraudulently or illegally. Not just sign a false form or affidavit to register to vote, which possibly is a misdemeanor and doesn't met the statutory definition of fraud.
Then again maybe individual US District Attorneys may not want the cases and the Attorney general doesn't believe he wants his agency involved.
We could go on guessing for ever. Possibly an Freeper who is an attorney needs to weigh in after reviewing the (convoluted) federal criminal statutes or other statutes.
