This is the first and only case to raise a plausible Federal Constitutional issue, AND the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction!
I still think they will rule that it is nonjusticeable under the political questions doctrine (as they should), but it’s at least a nice try.

Just because it involves an election doesn’t mean it is only a political question. As you said and I’ll add “first and foremost it’s”, a plausible Federal Constitutional issue, AND the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction!

The question of was there fraud and to what extent?, is a judicial issue. People will go to jail from this. What to do about it, and how to count the votes is ultimately a political question committed to Congress in January. SCOTUS can and should weigh in on that, even though the remedy is political.
It will be curious to see what happens. I certainly think Texas has standing to complain that illegal ballots were cast in other states for its citizens, as that is a violation of federal law and puts its citizens in criminal jeopardy. Beyond that narrow issue, I don't know that the argument has merit, but I am not deciding the case.
