Why couldn’t Guiliani have done his November 5th?
I don’t think there is a State called Guliani. Nor does he represent a state. No standing.
Because Giuliani doesn’t represent the state of Texas. The Atty Gen of Texas filed the lawsuit.
Because Giuliani isn't a state. Article III: "In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction." When a state sues another state it goes straight to the Supreme Court.
The other thing to take into consideration is that the fraud that took place in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta has not been remedied by those states. Therefore, the law has not been followed.
The TOS episode “Spectre of the Gun” aired in my locale last night and there is a scene in which Spock says “Physical reality is consistent with universal laws. Where the laws do not operate, there is no reality. All of this is unreal.” And likely we are seeing this sort of a situation with the November 3 vote and the efforts to cover up the fraud and corruption.

This is a suit brought by a state, by a state’s AG. Rudy has no standing for this.
The last minute timing before safe harbor clicks in is perfect
As chairman of the FR Rudy 2008 caucus (and somehow unbanned), nobody here loves Rudy more than I do.
But, he's lost a few mph off the fastball at age 76, and he was not the right man for this job.
Guiliani represents President Trump... he has standing but had to go after each state individually and has had to jump through a myriad of hoops trying to get to the SCOTUS. This was a gordian knot type of solution.
