“While I am happy for President Trump for this ruling, more importantly, our jurisprudence system needs to be cleansed of this idea of “Standing”.”

Same here - if a person is running for President, then EVERY American has ‘standing’, since stolen elections can lead to very bad things, like Open Borders and the Ukraine War.

Well, not to get into the weeds too much, but,

none of us has a constitutional right to vote in a presidential election in the first place.

Work with me here. The constitution says that state legislatures choose the manner of selecting the electors for president.

Every state chooses electors to the electoral college through a popular vote, but they are not required to do so.

So on the issue of standing, and every American having standing regarding elections, technically speaking, we voters may well not have standing, because we voters don’t have a constitutional right to vote directly for president in the first place. We vote in presidential elections because our state legislatures gave us that right to choose the presidential electors.
