Election law is structured different from normal axioms.

Federal courts do not allow their decisions to be rendered moot due to state procedural deadlines. Federal ‘Tolling’ provisions in effect put states in suspension until a federal order has been entered, and then the time clock starts clicking on the next court day following the order.

My point is that the TTV lawsuit order needs to have this tolling provision included. Otherwise if MS courts play games which I think is probable here, then it’s back to federal court to amend the order and that wastes lots of time.

What I was trying to get at was whether or not Mississippi election law freezes the evidence as of the date of filing the challenge, or if the courts will entertain gathering of evidence after they (the courts) have been petitioned for relief.
