That's why the Trump legal team is suing in federal court over Republican poll watchers being blocked from observing the count of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania (and other states). That is key. Giuliani and company are alleging that Democrat operatives blocked Republican poll watchers from observing precisely BECAUSE they were mixing in the post-election day ballots with the rest, as well as separating them from their original envelopes thus severing their tracibility and making it impossible to verify signatures, in addition to other fraudulent activities. Signature verification as a requirement was struck down by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (along with the 8pm election day deadline). This is setting up to where the only fair and equitable remedy the U.S SCOTUS can provide is to 1)discount ALL the hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots not observed by Republican poll watchers or 2) vacate Pennsylvania's entire election because it is so tainted by fraud and unconstitutional effects of the PA SCOTUS over the election that was supposed to go by the rules of their state legislature. Samuel Alito ordering all post election day ballots be separated from the others was a signal from the Supreme Court 1) that they have the number of Justices required to agree to hear the case from the Trump team and 2) that post election day ballots and the handling thereof will be a huge factor in the case. If Dems are found to have violated Samuel Alito's order to separate post election day ballots they will be found in contempt of court and that will not bode well for them.

Keep in mind, the "no votes after 8pm on election day" isn't just about counting ballots from voters who procrastinated on sending their mail in. What it's really about is counting ballots generated by Democrats at 4am to rig an election and mixing them in with the rest of the votes while not allowing Republicans to observe what was going on.....

I personally agree with all of this. I am just concerned that the unequal access to observation doesn't directly address all the fraud. It's like they stop just shy of what would really get scotus to throw out PA for all those reasons you discuss.
