Do we really want Federal courts deciding State issues?
That would be a consideration in the PA case.
I'd think it was a factor in the TX case as well, even though it sure would appear that one of the core functions to having a Supreme Court is to decide disputes between states. On this one, I can only conclude that they feared the precedent and trusted the State Legislatures to fix their own mess as prescribed.
That's a reasonable interpretation IF we assume they aren't totally cucked.
Derp. You apparently don't know geography either. Read my comment again. She was on SCOTUS when the TEXAS lawsuit was filed. She voted to turn it down.
She didn't hear the Pennsylvania lawsuit because she was not on SCOTUS yet -- but your claim that she sat out ALL of the election lawsuits is patently false.
Found the revisionist historian. Amy was on SCOTUS when the Texas lawsuit was filed. She voted to turn it down.
She didn't vote. It was a 5-3 with one abstention (ACB).

So she wasn't in favor of hearing the case, meaning she was against it and was bailed out of having to pick a side.
Even worse.

But the TX suit was Texas vs. Pennsylvania no?
Is the "Pennsylvania suit" different than Texas v. PA?
The Pennsylvania lawsuit that you are referring to is "REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. BOOCKVAR"
That was a totally different case than the Texas vs Pennsylvania lawsuit.
Only thing more cowardly than voting not to hear is not voting at all.
