Yes, federal question jurisdiction and standing exists if a federal court agrees with the proposition that such drummed up cases constitute election interference.
I don’t agree with you that Missouri doesn’t have standing. Obviously lawyers in Missouri think they do or they wouldn’t risk getting shot down by the so called “Supreme” Court.
That said, I do agree in general that the Supreme Court (also lawyers) frivously uses “standing” as a way to dodge tough decisions.......so they very well MIGHT, as you say, rule that Missouri has no standing.
AS F’d up as things are right now, most of us pray they won’t throw Missouri out on standing and will act to protect their own sorry assed judciciary..
The last time SCOTUS said Texas didn’t have standing to sue Pennsylvania over not following its own state election laws.
Missouri should do this in state court and subpoena all of the NY officials. Put NY on the defensive to spend time and money. Then wait to see if SCOTUS says NY doesn’t have standing.
EC
THEY WOULD HAVE STANDING SINCE THIS IS A FEDERAL ELECTION—IMO.
