The candidates who actually received electoral votes have more standing to show damages than candidates who received no electoral votes. McCain-Palin were the only other candidates to receive Electoral Votes, 173 electoral votes to be exact.
A case can only be “kicked up” to the Supreme Court if it has been ruled upon at a lower court level. The Supreme Court is an appeals court, the highest appeals court. Almost no cases originate at the Supreme Court except for disputes between state governments or between a state and the federal government.
The Supreme Court favors taking cases from the US Courts of Appeals. Phillip Berg made a tactical mistake by skipping the US Court of Appeals which is most likely why his case has been denied twice already at the US Supreme Court level. The Supremes like utilizing “the chain of command” and the US Court of Appeals is the next highest court to the Supreme Court.

***I agree. But we are pretty far afield from what we were originally talking about. What is the point of all this obfuscation?
which is most likely why his case has been denied twice already at the US Supreme Court level.
***Possibly. Perhaps you can explain why his case has been referred for conference twice. I have never heard of that before, and all the resident FR constitutional scholars generate crickets when asked how many other cases this has happened with.
