The 8th? I’ve read several articles where the absolute final day is the 14th. And this is the Supreme Court, if they say the process will continue thru the 9th, then it will.

People are reading too much into something that was not said.

The 8th is safe harbor day. 6 days before the electoral college votes (which this year is the 14th) any states that have certified their results are considered to have "safe harbor" and no further challenges or changes may be made. It's part of the federal law setting forth the calendar of the electoral process.

Safe harbor is what ended Gore's recounts in Bush v. Gore.

Anything not done by Monday night is going to be too late.

Please define the meaning of “is.”

The Electoral College vote is the 14th this year. The Safe Harbor date is the seventh date before that, or the 8th.

The ‘Safe Harbor’ refers to a law under which Congress agreed to recognize the electors votes as long as the state had resolved the appointment of those electors under laws which existed prior to the election (by 90? days).

I may have heard incorrectly, but it seems that it’s even later than that. In her instrucions to the legislators during hearings, I thought Jenna said they have the authority and power to make changes up to Inauguration Day. I may have interpreted it wrong.

Actually, the "absolute final day" -- the only date provided by the Constitution regarding elections -- is January 20th. The dates of 12/8 to select electors and 12/14 for the Electoral College to meet are set by a 1948 federal statute which, in this case where there is overwhelming evidence of fraud, could presumably if not logically be set aside by the USSC.
