Hi thank you for this great analysis. I read your previous posts and did learn a lot of legal knowledge. They were full of information and seems you totally foresaw what was coming. I have a question about the PA lawsuits.
A lot of us remember that PA Supreme Court had a decision on the poll watcher, in which the court explained that the observer is only guaranteed to be in the room no matter they can see the ballots clearly or not. I believe this lawsuit was filed by the Trump Legal Team. There was no follow up news or any appeal on this case. My assumption is that this lawsuit was filed to get the Republican poll watchers into the counting room. However, when the PA Supreme Court made the final decision, the counting was finished so it would not help to appeal anymore. In addition, as you explained, this is a state court issue, and it would be really difficult to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
I was wondering whether this PA Supreme Court decision lead to the result that they dropped the poll watcher claim in the Third Circuit case? Since the PA Supreme Court has the authority to explain all the PA election laws, the Trump lawyers don't have a stand to argue that the ballot without Republican poll watcher who could see the ballots clearly should be thrown out?
Looking forward to your reply and thank you again for taking your time for sharing knowledge and creating these great posts!
