"Michigan admits they can neither confirm nor deny the lawful winner" Wtf does that mean? How did Michigan certify the election?

The response to michigan's response was amazing. Looks like they might as well have confessed:

Michigan’s argument against the evidence of irregularities in Wayne County’s election process faresno better.

First, Michigan concedes that, with respect to the ballots issued pursuant to the Secretary ofState’s unlawful mailing of ballot applications and online ballot applications—which also did not comply with statutory signature verification requirements—"there is no way to associate the voter who used a particular application with his or her ballot after it is voted.” Mich. Br. 9; Compl. ¶¶ 81-87. Michigan’s “heads we win, tails you lose” defense should be rejected. This is a problem solely of the Secretary of State’s own making.

Michigan also admits that it “is at a loss to explain the[] allegations” showing that Wayne County lists 174,384 absentee ballots that do not tie to a registered voter. Mich. Br. 15; Compl. ¶ 97. That is precisely the point. And it illustrates exactly why the Court should grant Plaintiff’s motion.

SCOTUS just DENIED the lawsuit!! SCOTUS IS COMPROMISED!!

While I was getting a drink I saw on the news that Fox 'News' just said that the Supreme court is only allowing a few to participate. Anybody know more details?

And can the Top be ELI5 please? Thank you in advance.
