It isn't that the republicans get preferential treatment from a standing perspective... because there isn't a group of Republican voters that were found to have standing while a group of Democratic voters were not. "The Republicans" in this case is really "The Wisconsin Legislature" - which of course has standing in a challenge to a law that they wrote.
