The Texas GOP has issued a response to the SCOTUS rejecting the lawsuit against four Battleground states.
“Perhaps law-abiding states should bond together and form a Union of states that will abide by the constitution,” the statement writes.

Technical correction: The Court *denied* leave to file for lack of standing; Justices Thomas and Alito would have granted leave to file, but wrote to emphasize that they would *not* grant any other relief.
It’s the same bottom line.

In a brief order, the Supreme Court ruled “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”
It ruled all other claims as moot.
