salt in pa response to scotus:

Especially where millions of people cast their ballots under truly extraordinary circumstances, sometimes risking their very health and safety to do so, throwing out the election results on so flimsy a basis as Petitioners present would do violence to the Constitution and the Framers’ vision.

This case reaches the Court against the backdrop of unfounded claims—which have been repeatedly rejected by state and federal courts— that wrongly impugn the integrity of the democratic process and aim to cast doubt on the legitimacy of its outcome. Given that context, the Court should not -plunge itself into a firestorm by issuing the first ever judicial order decertifying the results of a presidential election.

They make that request without any acknowledgment of the staggering upheaval, turmoil, and acrimony it would unleash. In issuing equitable relief, this Court rightly seeks to avoid inflaming social disorder.
