It is a real dilemma. When electoral fraud has been detected and proven, we only have the courts to go to for immediate relief from an injustice. But on many occasions the courts have demonstrated a strong aversion to issuing rulings that overturn an electoral process, crooked as it may be. I have a sinking feeling that this is where all of this may end up. A pile of indisputable evidence laid out on the table for the USSC to see, and then comes a ruling along the lines of “We can't do anything about it once its certified by the states.” In 2000 the USSC had a point of law as a peg to hang their ruling on: the State of Florida had to obey their own law. That made it a Constitutional issue. Lacking that, how can they avoid either punting (let the voters fix it) or ruling to overturn (which they are hesitant to do)? I'm afraid they'll punt, which is precedent.

There is a law in PA that they can hang their hat on in PA

However, PA is not enough so they may not even take the case.

PA and GA have disregarded their own laws, and probably other states. Perhaps that will be the deciding factor. Alito has already indicated that.

My suspicion is they won’t even agree to take it up.
It takes four to agree to hear any case.
I don’t think we have four.
Kavanaugh and Gorsuch have already shown their yellow bellies.

“ In 2000 the USSC had a point of law as a peg to hang their ruling on: the State of Florida had to obey their own law.”

In 2020 PA Supreme Court rewrote election law. Blatantly.
