Fuck Im so confused. Does the texas case apply to all the states where fuckery occured, and therefore the scotus would be overseeing a multiple state issue vs PA only issue?

What this actually means

SCOTUS denied PA GOP’s emergency injunction to decertify election results before SCOTUS hears the case. The case will still go on without it.

What an emergency injunction is

This is a request to for the court to something necessary without the case being heard yet.

For example,

If you were denied asylum by a judge, and your deportation is in a week.

You can appeal your case decision to an appellate judge, but the appellate judge can only schedule your hearing in a month

You would request an emergency injunction on a stay on your deportations, so that you can still be here in a month to argue your case

Judge approves emergency injunction for this reason.

This is not an approval or denial of asylum case. The person still needs to argue his case and then the appellate judge would approve or deny.

On the contrary, if your deportation was actually 2 months from now, the appeal judge would deny the emergency injunction because it is irrelevant

This is what happened in this case

PA GOP requested an emergency injunction that SCOTUS decertified election results, but SCOTUS ruled that certification is irrelevant.

PA Case continues, and they still have to argue thier case to the SCOTUS if scotus takes it on.
