Thing is, I don't know how much deck-stacking Luitpold would be capable of. Karl Franz in the OTL was pretty much as adept a statesman, diplomat and administrator as you could hope for in one man, and even then the best he managed in the first round of voting against Boris was a stalemate.
He's in 4E? I'm pretty sure he was before the modern era.
It's an expression. Father-in-law is technically supposed to be for marriage, but if you've had a child with someone you'd still call them father-in-law. I 2000 words in I didn't have the energy to specificy that they may or may not be married.

I think a better way of thinking about it is that Reikland Electors haven't needed the same level of support from the rest of the Empire because they have the Cult of Sigmar backing them. But even that's just a net +1 vote because the Ulricans and Middenland will reflexively oppose any candidate backed by the Cult of Sigmar. Being tight with the Sigmarities constrains almost as much as it helps.
That's the origin of the guild in 4th edition, but not in 2nd edition.
When did any Grand Theogonist declare themselves Emperor?
According to Prince of Altdorf, you need 10 out of 15 votes to win.
He isn't outside of norm tbh. Us caring about people from other countries as more than abstract is pretty recent development. Mathilde herself likely thinks along those lines, at least, i haven't seen sign to the contrary yet.
Even the 2e version is still like a thousand years old, it's just not 4e's "basically as old as the empire itself."
Karak 8 Peaks?
Grungni is worshipped in Tilea as "Grugnio".
The one in 2e is a few decades old.
