Are there cases where the same plaintiff got the same claims dismissed before an election due to lack of injury-in-fact issues and after due to lack of remedy? Off the top of my head, there weren't such cases - pre-election challenges and post-election challenges were generally by different plaintiffs who brought different claims, so dismissals due to standing or laches can make perfect sense.
Also, did you mean the doctrine of laches by "no way to rectify"? They're technically two distinct issues - the latter is a prong for standing (along with injury-in-fact), and the former was not an uncommon sight in post-election challenges.
