The basis for the complaint is a sound one. The only ones who can change the rules regarding the apportionment of electors are the state legislatures. In each of the 4 states, the courts and local officials enacted their own rule changes to election rules without a change in the laws by the state legislatures, who have the soul right to make such rule changes. The argument is a good one. The question now is will SCOTUS hear it. They are just as beholden to public opinion as any other institution and it's an illusion to say otherwise. Roberts will probably squish his way out of this one. Will Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett? That is the question before us.
I think that's likely. They will probably try to throw up every procedural barrier they can come up with (ie must go through lower courts first) because otherwise they have to make a monumental decision to either ignore the plain language of the constitution or to overturn an election the media has spent weeks propagandizing the general public about, while simultaneously lying about the "lack of evidence" about what's really going on with the election. It's a dangerous position to be in to rule either way on this case. Half of scotus is incentivized to preserve constitutional order, but all of scotus now has to worry about what happens when they overturn 4 states elections and the left goes wild.
They had better uphold their damned Oath of Office and perform their basic job function. I don't care if they have to live in a bunker for the rest of their lives.

My suspicion is that they will elect not to hear the case. Maybe they will, thinking that even if PA flips, it won't be enough to change the results.

They are not overturning the election. They are overturning the FRAUD to PRESERVE the election.
