In New York, SCOTUS can move at a slower pace. Trump can try for an expedited appeal in New York first. If New York slow-walks it, then Trump can go to SCOTUS.

Thanks for the explanation , I am sure that New York will slow walk this. I had forgotten that it was down to a one week deadline in Florida.

I had forgotten that it was down to a one week deadline in Florida.

People forget that there were two SCOTUS rulings in Bush v Gore.

The first was a 7-2 decision for Bush that the 14th amendment equal protection was being violated by only recounting the three heaviest Democrat counties in the state. Voters in the other counties had an equal right to have their votes recounted, too.

The second vote was 5-4 on the remedy of whether Florida had time to do a full statewide recount. SCOTUS ruled that there wasn't enough time for a full recount and put a stop to the recounts, making Florida go with the certified counts at the time.

This was all because of the short timeline to meet the Electoral College safe-harbor date. New York doesn't have that tight a deadline, but time is still short for Trump to act.
