If anything goes to the SC it is 4-4 so the lower court decision will stand. The lower courts were packed with liberals after Harry Reid used the nuclear option.

Based on Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s previous comment that there was no way Donald Trump should ever be president, it would be perfectly legitimate (and politically safe) to ignore any decision that comes from the USSC unless she recuses herself.

If it goes to the Supreme Court, two of the current liberals already are joined to an earlier decision in Bush v. Gore that state legislatures have plenary power to appoint the electors. Those two liberals aren't going to overturn their own decisions. It will be 6-4. (And it isn't even going to go there.)
