I really don’t think Keyes’ suit is different, although I recognize that some here think that his has more merit (or better chance) than others. In Robinson, the federal California court rejected the argument that AIP electors had standing, essentially calling Keyes’ a minor candidate with no chance of winning. So - that court said that his party representatives had no greater standing than any other voter.

The new Keyes case is in the state court rather than federal court, so there is some chance, I guess. But I’m not holding my breath. They (state courts) will generally follow federal court precedent on federal law issues, and the federal CA court already said no standing, AND said that the proper place for this argument is the voters - then Congress.

So, I’m not so sure that the Keyes case has any better chance than any of the other cases.
