Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Sunday moved the deadline for Pennsylvania officials to respond to a lawsuit filed by Republicans seeking to flip the state election’s results from Joe Biden to President Donald Trump.

The original date set, Dec. 9, is the day after the “safe harbor” deadline that frees a state from further challenges if it resolves all disputes and certifies its voting results. The new date is Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 9 a.m.

Republicans in Pennsylvania asked the Supreme Court to overturn Act 77, the state’s 2019 law on mail-in voting that allowed any voter to cast a ballot by mail. The effort is being spearheaded by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., and Trump ally Sean Parnell.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court said Kelly and Parnell were too late to claim that no-excuse mail-in voting was unconstitutional.

    So what is “too late”? If the law was challenged before the election, then the court could use the excuse that the challenger has “no standing”. (“standing” means that the petitioner to the court must first prove that the petitioner is being harmed – which is impossible to prove before the election is over, because obviously it cannot be known in advance if the law would case trump to lose).
