That if Roberts would side with the 3 liberals for a 4-4 split it would revert back to how the Appeals court ruled. Indeed, Trump is wanting to side-step the Appeals court and go directly to the Supreme Court. This might be a road block to Trump's efforts on that count.

Also, the courts may not like Trump pushing them around like he has been doing, like saying he will use the courts to declare him the winner. Stepping over the line like that should produce push back.
