So, in theory, if the conservative nitwits on SCOTUS wanted to fuck with the election, now’s their chance?

I just read through some of the comments on the Tweet I quoted. It seems a lot of this hinges on whether the SCOTUS wants to tell PA how to interpret their own constitution, which is generally a no-no for the supposed states’ rights party the conservative supposedly belong to.

Ugh, This shit never ends. This is what’s starting to get to me. In 2016, the common wisdom was that Trump didn’t have a chance, but enough racists and stupid people managed to thread that loop for him.

Now? He keeps losing court case after court case, but the needle threading now is getting the SCOTUS, and the mouth breathers he appointed, to jump start his coup.

Just “ugh”.

In theory, yes - but also no. Because of the issues you noted, there’s no way on God’s green earth that this writ gets accepted by the Court, unless they intend on very quickly shooting this down. They may be majority wingnuts, but not even Amy Coney Barrett is particularly stupid. They all know what a precedent accepting this case AND ruling favorably would set.
