I'm not gonna lie , everyone but Alito and Clarence worries me a bit. Hopefully they realize the magnitude of what's being perpetrated and the fact that Scotus will be packed and a joke if they rule for Joepedo
Assuming the 3 Scoops Justices are actual Constitutionatlists, they should side with the Republicans because how electors are decided is expressly on the state legislature per Article II Sect 1 Clause 2. Rehnquist, Scalia, and Thomas said that state courts cannot interpret much of "intended" meaning of state election legislation in Bush v Gore.
I’ve been trying to understand that this more. Does this mean that the state legislature would have to make a move and say that they’re disregarding the ballots and that the legislature will make the vote for president.
If so, that’s a big gamble that the state legislators will have to make. Since, if they make the call it could piss off a lot of their voters. Then again, nobody cares about who is on the state legislature, so it won’t matter.
The Republican Party of PA, who are the majority, has the lawsuit against the PA Secretary of State and it is started with the SoS is ignoring the law the legislature passed regarding deadlines and the PA Supreme Court changed the deadline from what the law specifically said to 3 days later. The Bush v Gore opinion specifically says “in a presidential election the clearly expressed intent of the legislature must prevail”. SCOTUS could give a final ruling that any ballots that were received after the deadline are invalid and counties were supposed to keep the ballots separate based on when received per previous SCOTUS advice and instructions the SoS sent the counties. Problem is that no one can verify that that is being done, according to Alito’s opinion he just gave.
Now regarding the state legislature selecting electors, some states do have laws regarding the criteria they are supposed to use for that. I believe it is MI that has one saying electors picked have to be for whoever won the state’s popular vote.
The left will do anything to stop Orange Man. Even if that means blatantly rigging the election. They don't love America and the principles behind it. Undermining OUR country IS their goal.

I don’t think anyone wants blatant fraud in our elections. It undermines the entire foundation of our country.
