As I understand it, mail-in voters in Pennsylvania have until November 9 to submit valid ID in the event they failed to submit the ID with the ballot or there was some issue with their ID. So the November 9th deadline allows them to cure their mail-in ballots.
The Secretary of State extended that deadline three days to November 12, 2020 based on her interpretation of another court decision. On November 5, 2020, PA was ordered to segregate mail-in ballots where identification was provided between the 10th and the 12th.
The court in this decision basically said the Secretary of State's interpretation was wrong and she didn't have the authority to move the deadline back three days. The judge ruled that the segregated ballots where ID wasn't provided until after the November 9th deadline should not be counted.
The reason this doesn't really matter is because the number of ballots this order applies to should be insignificant. Also, I don't think those ballots were even counted - I'd have to see the November 5, 2020 decision to see exactly what the injunction prevented PA from doing.
