That does not mean, however, that the state court decision must escape our review. Although the Court denies the motion to expedite, the petition for certiorari remains before us, and if it is granted, the case can then be decided under a shortened schedule. In addition, the Court’s denial of the motion to expedite is not a denial of a request for this Court to order that ballots received after election day be segregated so that if the State Supreme Court’s decision is ultimately overturned, a targeted remedy will be available.
Petitioner represents that it will apply to this Court to obtain that modest relief, Reply in Support of Motion for Expedited Review 3, and Respondent DPP agrees that such
relief is appropriate, Opp. to Motion for Expedited Review
7. Although the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected Petitioner’s request for that relief, we have been informed by the Pennsylvania Attorney General that the Secretary of
the Commonwealth issued guidance today directing county
boards of elections to segregate ballots received between
8:00 p.m. on November 3, 2020, and 5:00 p.m. on November
6, 2020. Nothing in the Court’s order today precludes Petitioner from applying to this Court for relief if, for some reason, it is not satisfied with the Secretary’s guidance.
it was a "motion to Expedite" that means the State court in Pa demanded the Supremes make a decision immediately and the Supremes said "NO"...She wasn't sworn in when the other Justices were deciding the case. The PA Election board's request regards the future...if that happens, she will be involved but not now.
Oh no, that's bad news!
