PA state law: national elections end on Election Day. Ballots arriving next day(+) not counted
-
PA Gov. extended this via Ex. order.
-
Pa legislature challenged this in court
-
PA SCOTUS upheld it
-
US SCOTUS 4-4 ruling no result this PA ruling remains.
-
SCOTUS (Justice Alito) orders all ballots arriving after Nov 3 be set aside and not counted
-
Amy Coney Barret confirmed; declines to hear arguments citing time. Does not rule out future consideration.
-
Election Day: polls close in PA, Trump has 850,000+ lead
-
Nov 4th(+) PA counting continues; late ballots not set aside, flouting SCOTUS
-
Nov 6: Alito Re issues order to set aside late ballots.
-
Philadelphia continues to flout SCOTUS.
-
Nov 7 PA called for Biden w/42,858 vote, 0.18% lead - 98% reporting.
Still 2% ballots outstanding, in addition to provisional and military ballots. The state can still swing back Trump.
With the vote margin so thin automatic recounts are mandated.
If recount upholds final, SCOTUS can and likely will take this case (Presented by Trump campaign)
Very high probability SCOTUS will invalidate some or all of the 650,000+ late arriving ballots.
This is only 1 of many points of contention in PA alone
There are many other points.
And many other states are in a similarly contested status.
