I have a sincere belief that the judge was wrong on dismissing this case on standing grounds.
Political association rights are adequately implicated. Vote dilution is among the harms challenged.
I have not studied the merits in depth, but it looks like a valid claim there as well. state law favors the party in power in ballot order placement. strict scrutiny should apply to that kind of meddling in election fairness. this time it's democrats but get hurt, but as electionlawyers we shouldn't be too concerned about whose ox is getting gored;it's about having a fair process under the law.
as usual richard winger is the fact expect on ballot order and election trvia generally.
