Well, looks like the SCOTUS will not be proactive on this before the EC meets.

***There could be a reason for that: the 20th amendment. It states explicitly WHEN the events are to take place, and that’s after he’s president elect. So they can hang their hats on this for now, but it means it’ll be an even bigger constitutional crisis if they do intervene (BIG IF).
