I am less optimistic after reading the PA response. How do Trump’s lawyers respond to IV B of the response? Even if the state issued an unconstitutional policy, the voters of who followed it should not be disenfranchised. They followed the law. Taking away their votes is a harsh remedy for a mistake by the State.

SCOTUS will not be deciding the election. They are throwing it back to the legislature, as the Constitution requires. it is still the state that will decide.

Taking away the votes of an entire nation is preferable?

SCOTUS has previously ruled that individual citizens do not have a constitutional right to vote for electors. Only state legislators do.

By doing it or not doing it, someone’s votes are being negated.
