Justice Alito Moves up Supreme Court Deadline in Key Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Case:

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito asked officials in Pennsylvania to file briefs by Tuesday morning in response to an emergency injunction petition filed by Republicans seeking to invalidate or rescind the results of the Nov. 3 election in the Keystone State.

Tuesday is the “safe harbor” deadline that requires controversies surrounding elections to be ended so states can choose their electors before the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College. Alito initially called for response arguments by Dec. 9, before moving the due date earlier by a day. The new deadline signals that the Supreme Court intends to rule on the request for the injunction before the safe harbor deadline runs out. [emphasis added]

Marc Elias, the top attorney leading the Democrats’ post-election legal effort who had last month called the same lawsuit “frivolous,” wrote on Twitter on Sunday that he is “NOT worried about the date briefs are due” in the Supreme Court.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court on Nov. 25 ordered state officials to not take any steps to perfect the certification of the election pending a resolution to the Republican lawsuit. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overrode the injunction three days later, leading the plaintiffs to appeal to the nation’s highest court. --->READ MORE HERE
