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

.. 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...
