Their is nothing for the court to rule on. The votes have been mixed and counted. It’s not like they can do anything about a state election laws. They could maybe find the whole election invalidated, but Trump would still cease to be president after 1/20 and a re-election wouldn’t happen until 2024 with Pelosi as el presidente.
It's incredible that state election laws can apply to a Federal election.
Don't like the taxes in NY? Move. Hate the governor of California? Go to Texas. Each state can live or die under it's own stupid laws or lack thereof (i.e. San Fran), but you're always free to go vote out those politicians or go to another state.
However, when it comes to a Federal election? THAT needs to be governed at a Federal level. You can't have blue states making up their own rules when it comes to determining who gets to be President. That's fucking crazy.
Yeah there is. basically the argument of The State Compact to cede their votes to the popular vote. It violates the Supremacy Clause by having Congress be elected on more jurisdictional appeal than what is says in the constitution that every state is a republic. Similarly allowing fraud introduces an element of unnecessary nuisance that has nothing to do with legislating.
The proper legal way to do it would be to ask the legislatures of the states with questionable fraud to send a slate of electors by December 11. That was how it was done years ago. Michigan legislature is Republican... as is Penn... as is Georgia. If rampant fraud can be proven...this is the path forward.
To my knowledge nothing stops them from doing so. Their individual legislatures will convene and pick a slate of electors. State are free to send their electors in the manner of their choosing. In the 2000 election, Florida's legislature was poised to do this when the courts kept allowing recount after recount. The "safe harbor" day for electors to Congress is Dec 11.

This will never actually happen.

Trump could refuse to step down, and we'll see where the loyalties of the army stand.
