They aren't asking for much, just that the courts grant a relief that would also technically invalidate every election we've held since at least the 1950s

Suing the Electoral College is also certainly a uh.

(For anyone who doesn't have time to read the explainer: You can't serve the electoral college because the electoral college doesn't actually exist, it's just the name given to the process. Trying to sue the electoral college is like falling off a ladder and trying to sue gravity for damages)
