You're making the same mistake as those who think the SC, or the EC decide the election. That's just not so.
Evidence of a fraudulent election will be judged by the Congress. It certainly has to be developed in courts to be persuasive! And it needs to be very persuasive.
But the judge and jurors of the electoral trials are the Congressmembers.
And their deadline is, I believe, Jan 6.
January 6 is not a “deadline” for the Congress. It’s simply the date at which they’re required to convene and begin trying to sort it out. There’s actually not any deadline... until January 20th... at which point there’s a requirement defined in law, 3USC15 I think, to determine an “acting” President... who serves until the mess gets sorted properly.
Before we ever get there, there are other problems with the still unresolved legitimacy of the current elections for the House and Senate, including many elections the outcomes of which might have been altered by the same frauds as are screwing up the Presidential (and VP) race.
January 6th is a deadline only because the Constitution dictates that date for the meeting of a joint session of the House and Senate, after having seated the new Congress on January 2nd. What happens between Jan 6 and Jan 20... is pretty wide open, potentially wild and woolly, sure to be entertaining.
The SCOTUS inputs... might enable avoiding those later stage theatrics... if they can sort out the nature of the problems that exist in relation to the difference between the election as it was conducted, and the requirements for proper conduct of elections as defined in laws consistent with the requirements of the Constitution.
Given the evidence that’s emerging... the odds of any court certifying that the “results” being claimed, or even fraudulently “certified”... are in fact “fraud free”... or “at a level that could not change the outcome”... appear vanishingly small.
Way to soon to predict what will happen... in legislatures or courts... (much less on January 6th, or in Congress after that if a result is not forthcoming) given the pace at which incontrovertible proofs are emerging right now. But, the momentum is all on Trump’s side...
Thinking persons are likely still considering the potential that the worst of it has not yet been broached, much less been fully exposed...
There’s much more to come...
It will get even more interesting...
