And that would indicate to me that it's Article 3 that is fatally flawed, but not having the wording, I can't say for sure. In that it refers to a lack of standing by another state indicates that is the issue.The most obvious course this discussion must take now is on the question of the US Constitution being a fatally flawed document, in that one state's criminal malfeasance can't be allowed to stand when it has a direct influence on the other states. Both sides have a case that can be upheld by the Constitution!
The concept of the union of states becomes a flawed concept!
A very difficult concept for any American to accept, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable way out of the situation.
It's likely the whole thing will have to be shuffled off as a non-issue, and then that's when the plaintiffs will begin to understand that their only way forward is in violence.
Arguments?
Will this dispute call for Constitutional amendment? Can the US Constitution answer to the charges and the case that's valid for both sides?
There can be little doubt that the Scotus is wrestling with these questions right now!
Your question was answered by SCOTUS on Dec 11, 2020:
"The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot."

And of course the case was dismissed because it was a case that didn't have a remedy, as it pertained to the election that was still in progress. There were also two dissenting opinions that made it obvious that the issue will need to be revisited.
You present nothing new and notable that can add to the discussion, other than facts that were mentioned in this thread a week or more ago.
It's a very simple concept to understand that one or more states can't be permitted to infringe on the rights of other states to have a fair election play out. The current situation allows any state to set the bar lower than can be allowed in a fair election.
What is the problem with that logic that exists in American heads? It can only be the bad feelings of the Democrat supporters for this particular example. And likewise, the support of Texas by the Republican supporters.
You all need some time to get over it and then you'll be more willing to do what is right for your country. Next time the shoe may be on the other foot for both sides.
