The SCOTUS ruling in this instance was 5-4. I can believe the NJSC would think it worth a try to test it again and see if one of the justices would switch.

On the point of the Constution and Federal Law against changing the rules of the election, the ruling was 9-0. It only became 5-4 on the equal protection ruling and the remedy concerning the re-count.

There were actually 3 differing vote totals:

Regarding the inability of any authority to change the rules of a Federal election after the process started (in Floriduh's case, changing the counting and reporting rules in an Electoral College election), it was 9-0.
Regarding the complete lack of a Constitutional "remedy" for the Sore Loserman campaign, it was 5-4.
Regarding the failure to provide equal protection of the voters and their ballots, it was 7-2.

7-1-1 on the Equal protection, and 5-4 on the remedy.
