Summary of the opinion:
When the Republicans filed suit the Secretary of State told the court they hadn’t certified the results. Then, after a telephonic hearing with the court where they said that, the dems issued a press release saying that the vote was certified and then filed something with the court saying it was certified so the lawsuit was moot, or invalid because the results were already certified. The republicans said nahhh there are all these other steps to take to certify results and they haven’t done that. So the court says if there are other steps to be taken to certify results, dems are prohibited from taking further action to certify pending a full hearing where evidence can be presented.
Court says There’s no harm to the dems because electoral college Votes are not cast until 12/14 so given the dems actions it’s necessary to issue an emergency injunction prohibiting them from certifying. (Important: The standard for issuing an emergency injunction like this is that if the court doesn’t do it, one side will suffer irreparable harm.)
ALSO the court opines that the republicans have shown a likelihood they they will succeed on their claim that allowing mail in voting without one of the excuses as to why a voter can’t vote in person, which is required by the state constitution, without amending the state constitution (which they didn’t) is invalid on its face.
Court says the democrats saying the republicans point is moot and allowing them to take further steps to certify and not issue an emergency injunction prohibiting them from certifying could disenfranchise millions of voters, when issuing an emergency stay of certifying won’t disenfranchise anyone because the electoral college votes don’t have to be cast until mid December.
You seem to have a good grasp on things here so I hope you don't mind me asking a question:
Have PA GA or MI have been certified yet? I know they're absolutely still in play, but I am wondering if they've been officially certified. If so, have all states been certified?
The reason I ask is because the betting sites I used to bet on Trump winning suddenly closed all my bets earlier today and declared that I've lost. After sitting in limbo for weeks Bodog and Betway both declared Biden winner today and I lost my dough.
As far as I know results have not been certified with every state, and I wonder about what authority these betting websites are referring to suddenly claim Biden the winner.
Just based on that opinion, I can say it doesn’t appear the PA results have been certified. The Dems did some half ass press release without all the other formalities to say “we certified, so it’s over dismiss their lawsuit.” And the republicans said nah you have to go through all these formalities and you didn’t do that and also they ONLY claimed to certify the president and VP race and the republicans and the court don’t think they can certify some races and not others. So the court basically assumed the republicans were right, and based on the fact that it was only a press release, very informal, and said it doesn’t appear they’re certified, you cannot take any other steps to certify pending a hearing.

I agree, thanks for the clarification.
Happy to help, fren!
