We do have four Justices of the US Supreme Court who have already expressed concern with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s election law jurisprudence — specifically with regard to its decision changing the plain text of an election law statute after the General Assembly had refused to pass an amendment with the changes. Court precedent is solid in that under the Electors and Elections Clause only the state legislature (not executive officials) may determine the manner of Presidential electors.

By the same logic, the legislature may exercise this responsibility only lawfully in accordance with the PA state constitution. The lower court found PA’s Act 77 that allowed for no excuse mail-in ballots a “plain” violation of the state constitution. On Nov. 27, PA SC overruled this decision on grounds of laches- i.e. Plaintiffs had waited well over a year to challenge this statute.
However, by the logic of Justice Alito and three other Justices, (the Court then was divided 4-4) mail-in ballots in violation of state Elections Code would be declared unconstitutional under the Electors Clause. This would almost certainly change the ballot counts in PA and MI.
