For those of you who do not understand the law or the legal process involved in overturning an election, from the concurring opinion by J. Wecht:
"Petitioners cannot carry their enormous burden. They have failed to allege that even a single mail-in ballot was fraudulently cast or counted. Notably, these Petitioners sought to intervene in a federal lawsuit in which the campaign of President Donald J. Trump—an ostensible beneficiary of Petitioners’ efforts to disenfranchise more than one- third of the Commonwealth’s electorate—explicitly disclaimed any allegation of fraud in the conduct of Pennsylvania’s General Election." Wecht, slip op. at 5.
If you are going to count on a court throwing out an election based on fraud, you need to both allege and provide evidence of said fraud.

Another scathing opinion by the justices on what the Republicans are trying to do to our system of elections.

Keep in mind this is the same Pa. Supreme Court that ruled our Governor can change election laws.
