This is why they needed to finalize and issue the majority opinion immediately after the leak. Justices who want to concur or dissent can file those at a later date.
Letting the final decision to hang in the balance for eight weeks is only going to allow these kinds of tactics to continue.

Alito and the majority should just release the majority opinion today. The dissenters and any concurrences can be filed at a later date. There is no sense in allowing this intimidation campaign by the left go on for two months.
It is ridiculous no one has called Virginia. I am right in the center of the state and know all of the counties with votes out. There has been no plausible path for the past hour for McAuliffe based on simple math.
There are two red counties I am looking at with only 60 percent of the vote in - Fauquier and Chesterfield. So it’s not like there are just blue areas left.
Youngkin will have the best returns in NOVA since 2009. He will also do well in the Richmond suburbs and in Tidewater. He is picking up a good percentage of voters who voted for Biden in 2020, but are fed up with the direction of the country.
I am in Henrico County, voting was fairly heavy in my suburban precinct. Spoke with the Youngkin poll official, she said the Republican turnout for Youngkin so far today at this precinct has outpaced Republican vote turnout in 2020. I am cautiously optimistic.
Very questionable whether the Electoral Count Act is constitutional. The Constitution specifies that the state legislature has plenary power to award electors, yet the Act specifies that the governor is deemed superior to the state legislature if there is a dispute. Seems unconstitutional to me.

This is a clear violation of the standards set forth in Bush v. Gore. The Pennsylvania legislature specifically specified that all mail-in ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on election day. The Constitution prescribes that state legislatures, not state courts, decide election laws for election of the President.
The PA Supreme Court is way out of line. The election law specified by the PA legislature,not the state courts, must prevail under the federal Constitution.
