Technically, standing has 3 requirements:
1.Injury in fact: A imminent or actual concrete injury that affects plaintiff in a way it doesn't affect everyone else
2.Causation: The injury has to be traceable to defendant
3.Redressability: The court must be able to fix the injury

Each row lists "Registered Voters" (which is the same for all three rows, and represents the number of voters registered as living in that precinct, not the number of registered voters who voted there), "Cards Cast" (i.e., ballots), "Voters Cast," and "% Turnout."

AG Josh Shapiro (PA):
"Texas's effort to get this Court to pick the next President has no basis in law or fact. The Court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated."
