“There’s also a time limit prior to the election. 90 days maybe? It’s called a “Safe Harbor” law, and references the House abiding by the law as it stands so many days prior to the election.”

I’m not talking about the House acting on any matter. Seems to me the PA Supremes changed the existing rules. I was hoping a separate legal challenge exists challenging the Supremes right to make the change, which lies exclusively with the Legislative.

The assumption the SCOTUS makes is that the states intend to take advantage of the safe harbor rule, under which the House respects the certification of electors. In order to qualify, the State must have both come up with a slate of electors by a certain date, and they must have done so under the state laws that existed prior to the election.

So, the State Courts changing the laws once the election has begun violated that.
