Sorry but you've made a total hash of the legal issue.

The suit says Act 77, which expanded absentee voting, likely violates the PA constitution.

Act 77 was passed by a Republican majority of the PA House and Senate in October of 2019.

This suit and ruling has nothing at all to do with the SOS or Governor. It's saying the Republican PA legislature screwed up in passing unconstitutional legislation.

By the way, the judge is also clearly saying that in her opinion the state legislature's power to decide how electors isn't plenary - it's subject to the state constitution.

Wrong, but thanks for throwing cold water on everyone’s hopes. If Biden ever needs some help in his defense FR is a great place to find them:

The suit alleges that Act 77 constitutes an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution by creating yet another exception to the in-person requirement. But Amendments to the Pennsylvania Constitution — pursuant to the terms of the Constitution — require that the proposed Amendment be passed in two consecutive sessions of the General Assembly, published for six months in two newspapers of general circulation in each Pennsylvania County, and then approved by a majority vote of electors in the next general election. Act 77 was passed in only one session of the General Assembly, and the Democrats in control of the State Executive Branch put it into effect without completing the remainder of the steps needed to amend the Constitution.
