Accordingly, in careful consideration of the exigencies and time
constraints in this matter of statewide and national import, and the longstanding
constitutional mandate that every citizen of this Commonwealth is entitled to no less
than a fair and free election, it was necessary to preliminarily enjoin, on an
emergency and temporary basis, Executive Respondents from undertaking any other
actions with respect to the certification of the results of the presidential and vice
presidential elections, if indeed anything else needs to be done, pending an
evidentiary hearing to ascertain the facts of this matter and to determine if the dispute
is moot.
Inasmuch as the Secretary had not certified the remaining results of the
2020 general election, it was also necessary to enjoin, on an emergency and
preliminary basis, any attempt to certify these results as well.
Based upon the record before it, this Court has sufficient grounds to
enjoin Respondents from further certification activities on an emergency
preliminary basis
TL,DR; judge says 'The complaints appear to have merit. Pump the brakes on the certification. Let's talk about it.' but in way more words.
Up next: an expedited emergency evidentiary hearing ('show me what you got').
