The Hawaii Supreme Court is going to tell Martin or Berg the same thing the
US Supreme Court told the Ohio Republican Party: Private citizens don't
have "standing" to ask for jack in making sure their elections aren't
stolen. And officials who might have standing, like the 50 state attorneys
general or the US Justice Department, aren't going to provoke a race war
by asking for jack.

I don’t think that is what the SCOTUS ruled.
The language I believe they used was that the ***GOP*** did not have standing as opposed to a citizen filing suit in a state court or the US Attorney General prosecuting according to federal law.
It was a technicality.
The Ohio case has since been picked up by a citizen I believe who filed with the Ohio Supreme Court.

You’d think a citizen would have the right to know if the guy who is going to run the country is defrauding all of us.

The USSC did not say citizens have no standing but a political party has no standing. That is why the case was refiled by a citizen.

How can an American voter NOT have standing to bring an action to prove the eligibility of someone running for public office? Why does it need to be a state AG? This is a Federal election and one would think anyone eligible to vote in a Federal election would have standing.
Also, don't the Republicans have ONE AG with the kugels to bring an action? Maybe this is why we are ALWAYS the minority party.
