The S. Ct. is the only court in which a State can sue another State. It has to take the case.

What the Court will do with it, who knows.

It is a gnarly issue, but my initial thought is that Texas’s standing to complain about another State’s election procedures will be the focus of the case. I’m not so sure Texas has standing. The Constitution specifically provides for the States to run their own elections. The issue will be whether Texas has the right to claim that other States’ procedures were improper.

How does Texas intend to prove its case before the Electoral College meets?

The precedent if Texas is allowed to go forward would be unbelievable. Every Presidential election would be contested with States suing each other.

We’ll see.

It’s an interesting legal maneuver, but I wouldn’t get too excited about Texas’s chances of prevailing.

I wish it were otherwise but, realistically speaking, I have my doubts.
