This whole thing actually has me a little worried. Whichever way the ruling goes, I feel like half of the country is going to lose their shit.

“There is no possible way that the state of Texas has standing to complain about how other states counted the votes and how they are about to cast their electoral votes,” Smith said.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies rejected a motion acknowledging Biden as president-elect after a 3-to-3 vote in which all Republicans opposed.
For those interested in that kind of thing, it's being painted as an doomed to fail suit on the other side of the fence:

which means they are afraid
What scares me is that there is no attempt to educate their readership as to why this suit was filed. Should it succeed in the supreme court, all these confident Biden supporters will be blindsided. They would feel like the rug got pulled out from under their feet with no justification.. That sort of mindset makes people dangerous.

Maybe they will realize how full of shit the media is that made them full of shit and oblivious to reality.
Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, South Dakota, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana have all joined Texas
That’s not an accident. We’ve been saying since nov 4 that they were forcing the president elect title just to cause unrest when it was proven he lost.
I thought it was more- this other state didn't follow the law, and that's illegal? Maybe I've got it wrong.

Since this is a federal election and affects the government affecting other states, Righty is a secondary type of complainant. As the people of TX votes were presumably clean as the wind driven snow, so they were not disenfranchised. So the violation of rights was not in TX. It then becomes a question of how significant is the secondary problem perceived by the state vs the voting rights of the people in the other states. Increasing the number of affected states improves your standing to bring the complaint.

HUH? How can you say they were not disenfranchised? That is exactly what happened. While they were not deprived of the right to vote they were deprived of the outcome that was what they wanted by nature of the inability of other states to properly count votes or follow the law on how voting should happen according to their own laws. I'm guessing that the legal argument is that by whatever means they present that the votes in Texas were basically nullified. What I find interesting and have not had any time to look into is the rumors that a bunch of states changed the voting laws in a hurry. And the way that they were changed and who changed them was 100% illegal. I don't know what the way to fix it is, I don't think anyone does. But I have heard that they are simply trying to get those votes thrown out.
You are neglecting the electoral college. Their votes are accurately passed on from them. You are entitled to a vote, not an outcome.
But if the votes submitted are based on fraud then the outcome is not valid .

What he's talking about is standing to bring the suit. Which is what I was concerned about. Having more than one state feeling fucked over gives credence to the single state feeling fucked over. Lefty's response is mind your own business and there is some merit to it. It is unconstitutional, but the people actually wronged directly are the people in the states that were treated unconstitutionally and had their votes nullified by people voting illegally. It would be awesome if a group of citizens were to rise up and join this effort, but that is unlikely.

If it were as simple as you guys are making it, there wouldn't be two sides. Rather than me try to convince you to consider the other side, why do you want the other states to join the case?
And we can't force you to recognize the blatant fraud taking place... you would need to ignore your bias. We are advocating other states join, because they were also slighted by the rampant fraud that took place in the mentioned States.
Ignoring something won't make it not true.
I'm acknowledging the fraud. It is ridiculous and needs to be addressed.
My wife's vote for Trump was counted and will be put forth in the electoral college. My vote for Jorgenson didn't make the cut. The point is both of our votes were cast and considered in an equitable way.
If we were in one of the states named, our votes would have been cancelled by corrupt votes and we would have been directly disenfranchised. We would have better standing than all others to bring a complaint.
In the other 46 states, you are not disenfranchised. Your complaint is that the 4 states are not complying with the contract that binds the states (Constitution) and it is affecting in some way the national election that affects all of us. A more distributed harm. Even in those those other states approximately half the people voted for Biden that might go to Trump in the EC. So you have the supreme court trying to decide who has the most harm, the people in the 4 states under scrutiny or the group of people complaining about the violation of the contract. Those people were not disenfranchised, their votes are still being counted.
