They would only rule PA's mail-in ballot program illegal because they didn't follow the process described in their constitution to make voting changes. It wouldn't apply generally to mail-in ballots in other states.
“Because the laws governing the conduct of elections were flagrantly violated in numerous states during the 2020 presidential election, there can be no determination of presidential Electors pursuant to state law. As such, the Constitution makes clear that the responsibility rests with state legislatures to appoint Electors. This should be done as expeditiously as possible, but the only deadline state lawmakers have an obligation to meet is the one deadline set forth in the Constitution — noon on January 20, 2020.”
Separately but converging, Team Trump and Powell’s team may be consolidating a SCOTUS case based on these multiple statutory and Constitutional violations, including state legislators breaking their own laws. Election results in all swing states may be ruled illegitimate, or SCOTUS may issue an injunction for a forensic audit. As for time-frames: “Safe harbor” and even the Dec. 14 deadline are federal laws only, not Constitutional provisions. The litigation could conceivably continue till AT LEAST Jan 6.
That’s my 2 cents, and, yes, that doesn’t buy anything these days. But like everyone else here I hope SCOTUS comes through, and well before Jan 6 or Jan 20.
