The 2020 Presidential election may hinge on a USSC decision to enforce PA election law as prescribed by the PA legislature, and not the PA Supreme Court.
An opinion accompanying the Supreme Court’s order by Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, suggested that the court may still revisit the case after the election and toss out contested mail-in ballots. Although the Supreme Court declined to rule on the matter before the election, Alito wrote that there was a "strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution."
The USSC decision may come down to the number of votes received after election day, if that number could affect the outcome.
Stay tuned, the PA election is not decided, and won't be for a while yet.
Trump should gain from the "provisional ballot" count, and would gain even more if the USSC disqualifies late votes.
Supreme Court allows extended mail-in ballot deadline in Pennsylvania
If the vote totals on Nov. 3 in Pennsylvania are close enough that ballots received after Election Day could impact the state’s results, legal challenges over the ballots could prolong final election results.
