ACB might have voted the same way. The States have the right to determine the nature of their elections. Even if it's stupid, even if it's obviously bullshit, they States have that right. Only if they were clearly violating the Constitution should they be shut down, and this PA shit, as far as I can tell, doesn't.

What does the PA state legislature say? From the comments in the article you linked...

This makes no sense. State law says that they must arrive by 8pm on election night. How can a court just change state law? They are supposed to uphold the law, not change it.

If true, seems like ACB probably would have sided with all four 'conservative' justices.

Yeah, Negative Ghost Rider. Please tell me where in the Constitution it states a specific day for the vote to be completed. The only regulation there is that the President takes office on Jan 20th. Federal Law demands that the electors be selected by the first Wednesday in December.

Yeah, I had to double check that to make sure I wasn't spewing crazy talk, no worries. Shit does actually get complicated.
