It always looked likely that there was going to be considerable legal action around this election. Pennsylvania has been at the heart of a lot of it. John Yoo has an op-ed over at Fox News, outlining the case that means there is going to be a question mark over that Pennsylvania result when it eventually comes. He writes:
That’s the crux of it. If the supreme court decides the extension was unconstitutional, then all the ballots that arrived between 3 November and 6 November will be struck off.The mail-in ballots received between Tuesday and Friday this week in Pennsylvania and accepted under the order of thePennsylvania Supreme Court could decide the winner of the presidential race in that state, even if the winner prevails by a very small number of popular votes.
It is at this point that Trump has a strong case pending in the US supreme court. His campaign and the Republican Party of Pennsylvania can challenge the vote in the state on the grounds that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court unconstitutionally interfered with the state legislature’s sole authority over the time, place, and manner of federal elections and over the selection of presidential electors.
