As I understand it, anyone can sue. If the lawsuit is found to be frivolous, it ought to be dismissed. Although I am concerned about what SCOTUS might do if an appeal is made, I think even, and maybe especially, the conservative majority would decide they do not want to take up the case this close to an election.

Yes, that is the precedent - not taking cases that would affect an election this close to it. But they have smashed so many precedents already. I don't trust them at all.

How would a registered Republican even have "standing" to file such a lawsuit?
Good question.

I don't rust them either. I just think they wouldn't want to set a precedent that can be used against their puppet masters down the road.
