So we are still waiting to hear if SCOTUS will hear the Texas case. What if they don't answer until Monday? That's when the electoral college is supposed to vote. Can they pause the electoral college from voting? Or can they vote, but have their votes overturned? How does this work if we have pending litigation?

If scotus doesn't put a stay on it this weekend, the electoral college will vote Monday. Biden will get his "win", and the left will flip out with joy. Then, when scotus says the four states electors don't count, Pence can use that to not count those votes on Jan 6, declare them contested. The house and senate will each debate that fact for a while, not sure how all that plays out. Probably ends with the house voting for potus, which we will win.
Thank you! I knew it could potentially wind up in the house, but I wasn't sure exactly how. :)
If neither party gets 270 electoral votes the House votes en bloc -- one vote for each state delegation -- for President. So the idea here is SCOTUS would rule the electors from PA/WI/MI/GA are invalid and neither candidate would receive 270.
