Suppose some states - Texas, for example, filed a case arguing they are about to be prevented from having a fair chance to elect Donald Trump based on a city judge? Suppose a dozen states filed an election interference case?

Actually. If a state sues another state, this is the only case where the USSC is the court of original jurisdiction. Only the USSC can hold a trial on these questions. That is a hell of an idea.

Texas already lost a case like that in 2020.

Texas has the right to appoint 40 Trump Electors to participate in the multi-state process of choosing a President on December 9, 2024.

Nothing has happened, or will happen, to interfere with that right. That’s the ONLY right Texas has, though.

They tried to sue, I think, Michigan and the Court ruled (correctly) that the appointment of Electors is a sovereign power of each State and no State has any role in how another State does it.
