Do you know if Forrester or the NJ Pubbies have an ongoing lawsuit in federal court still, after the denial of emergency preliminary relief?

Yes. You can read Congressman Billybob's explanation in Forrester Case Still Live in the Supreme Court. There were actually two petitions filed with the USSC.

I'm the one to ask about the continuation of the Torricelli case in the US Supreme Court. Yes, it is still live. Yes, the SC can take the case and declare that ALL actions by ALL courts to rewrite election laws in the middle of an election are unconstitutional.

That would cut off at the knees all possible efforts to get state courts to do that in the future. Unfortunately, the remedy that the US SC can apply after the election is only to declare that Lautenberg was an illegal candidate. Under Article I, only the Senate has the power not to seat Lautenberg.
