The lawsuit argued a 2019 state law authorizing universal mail-in voting was unconstitutional and that all ballots cast by mail in the general election in Pennsylvania should be thrown out.

SCOTUS slammed the brakes on Trump's attempted coup against the newly elected government of the United States of America and rejected his and the GOP's bid to reverse the Pennsylvania's election results.
Don't think people are following the ball here.. Of course the US SupCt. isn't gonna issue an injunction tossing out 10s of thousands of ballots in Pennsylvania.. And contrary to some of low informed on this thread -- it wasn't an Enbanque ruling.. Alito is the gate-keeper for all things 2020 election. It was HIS decision.. There was no vote. No drama about Barrett...
And that's to be expected if the case has never seen a court room, never appraised on the ACTUAL evidence, and never gone thru discovery.. Those things SHOULD HAPPEN...
The issue is the Penn SupCt and their cover-up of their extremely questionable decision TO MAKE LAW -- just prior to the election -- IN DIRECT CONFLICT with the Constitution of the State of Pennsylvania that STATES SPECIFICALLY "how absentee balloting works".. NOTE -- this is not StateHouse law -- it's spelled out in their STATE CONSTITUTION and their Supreme Ct violated that.
If you go back to a month before the election, the GOV and Sec State of Penn ASKED the legislators to make some changes in the "mail-in" requirements.. It was THEIR JOB to do that. The StateHouse refused saying it was too close to the election and told them to go away..
It was the Penn SupCt that gave the Gov and Sec State MORE than what they asked for.. And every one of their REJECTIONS on securing discovery and getting access to evidence is just arrogance and protecting their OWN ASSES... NONE of those rejections were by large majorities.. The decisions split about 5-4 in most cases..
SOOOO... Now comes the brighter folks who KNOW that US Sup Ct will only hear whining based on FEDERAL LAW and FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.. Like the case just booked in SupCt by Atty Gens of several states starting with Texas.. What THEY are doing is giving up on the quick fix -- asking for tossing out specific large piles of votes -- and FOCUSING on the Federal aspects of several states VIOLATING THEIR OWN CONSTITUTIONS to make "emergency law" just prior to the election. Penn did it so close to election that it was TIMED to not be possible to appeal or overturn..
This is a SOLID approach.. If the various states named as defendants VIOLATED FEDERAL election laws -- which says the various state CONSTITUTION and election laws lawfully passed in their StateHouses are the ONLY legal way to change election procedure..
Applicants are not asking for STATE uniformity.. Just asking that the election process is CONSTITUTIONALLY defined or modified by their StateHouses and not courts MAKING LAWS in violation thereof... In addition, in Penn. -- the rogue court there gave them licence to "heal ballots" on a precinct by precinct basis -- which clearly violates the Bill of Rights "equal protection" clause..
It's a way for the SupCt to tell the defendants, that their "last minute end arounds" violated Federal law and Constitution,.. And OPEN UP the state courts to HEAR the cases on merit and allow discovery.
The latest brush-off by the rogue Penn SUpCt simply stated that the request to hear the case "would cause chaos".. That's not sufficient. That's not even professional.. Laws were violated. We need to make sure this will NEVER happen again..
