Just wondering if any of you pedes can explain what would happen if the SCOTUS rules in favor of the state of Texas... what would be the most likely scenario or way in which events would unfold after that.

Scotus won't be willing to change the way the electors go, but might declare the election improper, and drop the four states from consideration. That would leave both candidates without enough votes, and result in an election in the House, by state delegation. At that point, it depends how confident the house members are in Trump's victory, though they could actually elect anyone they want to.

This:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/3/2

Whenever any State has held an election for the purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 644, 62 Stat. 672.)

SCOTUS will require the legislatures of the four defendant states (PA is a Commonwealth) to convene and select electors themselves pursuant to the Constitution.

Not sure legal wise, but the left would riot/antifa would start burning stuff again for sure.

I believe the relief they're seeking is to have the legislatures determine the electors

But they could just turn right around and choose the same ones the fake votes did

well, the far lefty npc's kept in the dark by the msm will be caught completely surprised by this, and cry and riot about how drumpf stole the election.

The Republicans wuss out and nominate Biden in the House on Jan 6. They are bought and paid for. Yes, being a doomer...

I believe the relief they are asking for is for SCOTUS to order the state legislatures to select a slate of voters as the elections in all four states have been corrupted beyond repair.

Each state's legislature assigns a single delegate to act as an elector and those electors select the President.

Similar to how German selects the EU's Gauleiter.

Not following the rules IS the fraud.

I agree, but SCOTUS probably doesn’t want to take on a multi-state fraud case with original justification. The fraud case should be prosecuted in the individual states, but with no support from the FBI or local Secretaries of State, the campaign is having problems even getting cases heard.
