Fantastic analysis. The line about courts becoming 'political prognosticators' if they had to predict electoral impact really nails the absurdity of the old standing rules. I followed the 2020 cases that got bounced for lack of standing and it always felt like a catch-22, cant challenge before the election because no harm yet, cant challenge after because its too late. The court finally closing that loop hole is huge for electoral accountability, even if Elias is already promissing a lawsuit flood.
This is good news for California, hopefully.
Really helpful and well-researched information.
