Concise and "plain language" rundown on the Pennsylvania lawsuit
situation, and why Trump will likely win PA as a result:


   Why Trump Will Triumph In PA Litigation

      .. Had the Pennsylvania Supreme Court simply ruled that Act 77 was
      unconstitutional under PA’s Free and Equal Elections clause, this
      would have been a classic “textualism” vs. “living
      constitutionalism” case. But it’s not.

      There is a strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision
      violates the Federal Constitution. Justice Alito writes: “The
      provisions of the Federal Constitution conferring on state
      legislatures, not state courts, the authority to make rules
      governing federal elections would be meaningless if a state court
      could override the rules adopted by the legislature simply by
      claiming that a state constitutional provision gave the courts the
      authority to make whatever rules it thought appropriate for the
      conduct of a fair election.”

      .. Again, translating this into common English, the US
      Constitution grants state legislators the exclusive right to
      prescribe the time, place, and manner of holding elections, and to
      direct the appointment of the electors.

      The Pennsylvania Supreme Court didn’t just say “Act 77 is
      unconstitutional.” It re-wrote Act 77 itself, by judicial fiat,
      creating new rules for time, place, and manner, of holding
      elections. In doing so, the State Supreme Court violated the US
      Federal Constitution.

      And that’s the real case here. The US Supreme Court is going to
      rule that the State Supreme Court violated the US Constitution,
      the State Supreme Court’s ruling is going to be overturned, and
      the votes that arrived after 8 PM on election day will be
      discarded. On that basis, Trump will win Pennsylvania.



As highlighted here though:

Trump must ALSO win 3 out of Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and
Georgia, to hold his POTUS seat.

Disappointing.  If enough corruption is proven, there seems to still be
a chance, but it seems quite a haul at this stage...
