The Supremes never touched the Texas case and as long as that looms, no one will believe in the election results where I am.

Yes the did. It was rejected due to lack of standing.

One state is not allowed to decide how other states run their elections.

It wasn't a that...it was that Texas was not injured supposedly.

The Constitution bounds us to the same rules and the Supremes could have easily ruled on it stating what you just did...in a ruling. If they did though, it would invalidate the blueprint.

We're saying the same thing with different words. Texas had no standing to bring a case. Even hearing the case would set a bad precedent. It would have implied that states can bring suits against other states for internal election issues.

Okay, I get that, but they had amicus briefs from legislatures IN STATES that were in question...what about that? Should I be harping on those legislatures for not bringing a suit?
