From Washington Examiner:

The Supreme Court will soon hear a case involving a challenge to a law allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots. However, the dispute before the justices will not be over whether the law is constitutional, but if the candidate has standing to sue over it.

Russ Nobile, a senior attorney for Judicial Watch who will argue for Bost in the case, told reporters on Tuesday that they hope the Supreme Court will clarify mixed rulings on standing in this and other cases that have emerged in the federal courts since 2020.

“This should go a long way to answering those questions as to when do candidates and when do federal courts hear these types of election challenges when states are alleged to violate federal law,” Nobile said.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, believes the case comes down to whether “a candidate can sue to stop an election from being stolen.”

“If you can’t sue to count ballots you think are being counted illicitly because they got there too late — you’re denied that in federal court — the idea that any outrageous rule the states come up with in terms of counting federal ballots can’t be challenged in court, all bets are off,” Fitton told reporters on Tuesday.
