Question. Did the State provide it’s rebuttal? I thought that is what Alito was waiting for.

The electors must all vote on the same day I believe.

When that voting is over, it’s over.

I believe there is no penalty for a state not appointing valid electors.

There is a strong argument that can be made that the 14th amendment holds the penalty.

14th Amendment Clause 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

All it will take is for a voter (or perhaps a candidate Elector) to appeal to the Supreme Court that failure of the PA legislature to appoint Electors abridges the voters and must result in the disqualification of the entire Pennsylvania House delegation from Congress.

As other posters have noted, today (December 8, 2020) was the deadline for Pennsylvania to file its rebuttal. Alito likely didn’t promise when he would file his ruling. I’m just waiting for news about his ruling.

Trump Legal Team Statement on “Safe Harbor Deadline”

“The ‘Safe Harbor Deadline’ is a statutory timeline that generally denotes the last day for states to certify election results. However, it is not unprecedented for election contests to last well beyond December 8.

“Justice Ginsburg recognized in Bush v. Gore that the date of ‘ultimate significance’ is January 6, when Congress counts and certifies the votes of the Electoral College. The only fixed day in the U.S. Constitution is the inauguration of the President on January 20 at noon.

“Despite the media trying desperately to proclaim that the fight is over, we will continue to champion election integrity until legal vote is counted fairly and accurately.”

- Rudy Giuliani, Attorney for President Trump, and Jenna

They want you to think that otherwise there will be terrible tugboat collisions. Nothing is further from the truth.

The 14th Amendment ? Strong argument ?

LOL!!!

What that says is: House seats will be apportioned according to the census... except that the proportion will be reduced by the number of felons... if the state denies the vote to felons.

Why do you think that means anything that’s relevant now ?

Where does the 14th amendment say felons?

What it DOES say is "when the right to vote... is denied... or in ANY WAY abridged..."

Do you think that failure to appoint Electors is an abridgement of the vote of the citizens of the state that does not get to participate in the Electoral College?

If ZERO votes made it to the Electoral College, shouldn't the ENTIRE delegation be stripped from the House as punishment?

Answering for you...

“except for participation in rebellion, or other crime”...

like the staging of a fake election...
