US Supreme Court asked to block Biden win in Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Republicans attempting to undo President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to take up their lawsuit, three days after it was thrown out by the highest court in the battleground state.
In the request to the U.S. Supreme Court, Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly of northwestern Pennsylvania and the other plaintiffs are asking the court to prevent the state from certifying any contests from the Nov. 3 election, and undo any certifications already made, such as Biden's victory.
They maintain that Pennsylvania's expansive vote-by-mail law is unconstitutional because it required a constitutional amendment to authorize its provisions.
Biden beat President Donald Trump by more than 80,000 votes in Pennsylvania, a state Trump had won in 2016.
Pennsylvania's Supreme Court on Saturday night threw out the lawsuit, including an order by a lower court judge blocking the certification of any uncertified races.
Justices cited the law's 180-day time limit on filing legal challenges to its provisions, as well as the staggering demand that an entire election be overturned retroactively.
In the state's courts, Kelly and the other Republican plaintiffs had sought to either throw out the 2.5 million mail-in ballots submitted under the law - most of them by Democrats - or to wipe out the election results and direct the state's Republican-controlled Legislature to pick Pennsylvania's presidential electors.

Toss out 80,000 votes by American citizens. Yep, that sounds like Trump and the Republicans.

They know it's not close enough to return their owed favors. They all know they are going to get five more justices if they keep this shit up.

So, what's the "line" on this in Vegas? Will the Supremes even discuss this or, simply decline to hear it and otherwise just say "Case Closed"?

Five new Liberal appointments should do the job. Trump is the one that tossed out all the norms, so Biden can do as he pleases...right?
Trump's rigged court needs to think twice on this one.

Biden will still have 289 if they rig the Pennsylvania results.

If they were rigged, that means you assholes were responsible and complicit too. How did they manage to turn so many republicans at so many levels involved in the process Gary?

>>> "There are several reasons why the high court is unlikely to look kindly on the petition. The justices are disinclined to overrule state, rather than federal, courts. They are even more unlikely to disenfranchise millions of law-abiding voters. The challengers could have filed suit when the state law passed but waited a year, until their preferred presidential candidate was defeated, to take action." <<<

Not one shred of evidence for fraud. Election fraud does not exist. On top of that, a dotard is the most likely to commit fraud. We already have seen it.
