It will be interesting to see if the court grants leave to appeal. I have been pretty negative about all this all the way along as no one has proved fraud or other accusation in a court to a point that will change the election. This case is not about fraud but I am not very optimistic based on what a lot of legal pundits are saying.
I suspect the court will make its decision quite quickly on whether to allow the appeal once the respondents get their submission in to the Court by Thursday.

This is the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction if it agrees that a state is a party to a legal claim against it. No leave to appeal is needed, although SCOTUS typically frequently declines to excercise its orginal jurisdiction in less important cases like prisoners' habeas corpus applications. As I read Article III regarding SCOTUS's original jurisdiction, even if Texas and the other states lack standing, but Trump clearly does, his claims can be haard by SCOTUS through it original jurisdiction.
There was a reason that Trump himself did not file suits in the lower courts where hostile judges could prejudice his claims. There was a plan here to do this from the start. Normally, when hearing cases like this, SCOTUS will appoint a retired judge or justice to act as a special master to hear testimony. Depositions and exhibits from lower courts can be referenced as well.

Illegally changing the election rules is not fraud?

This is not an appeal. It’s a case where SCOTUS has sole and original jurisdiction. There is no point in all your negative posts, especially where they are based on your misunderstanding of what’s going on.
