This is a really important point:

Once PA certifies, the Trump lawsuit would become moot regardless of whether the (not-yet-filed) appeal is still pending in the Third Circuit or #SCOTUS — because all the Elite Strike Force asked for is a remedy that would then be impossible.

A quick note about the PA lawsuit, now that we've all absorbed the opinion last night. The *only* relief that Trump asked for was to prevent certification. You can see it here. So this case winks out of existence the second PA certifies the vote.

And because they lost in the district court, they need more than a stay from the Third Circuit or #SCOTUS; they’d need an injunction pending appeal — which requires an even greater showing to obtain than a stay.
