Pennsylvania: what happens in the election. Meanwhile, CNN

What is happening in Pennsylvania, one of several states that is at the center of the protests. In this case, the issue of the dispute is linked to the acceptance of the postal vote that arrived even after the close of the elections. It seems obvious that this can be easily maneuvered and in fact, curiously, Trump had an advantage in this state until the close of the vote to be overcome with these late ballots.

The governor is Democrat, but the chambers have a republican majority, and the decision on the postal vote was taken by the supported executive power, then by the judiciary. An appeal by the Reps, supported by a judge who had blocked the final certification of the electoral result, was rejected by the state supreme court.

Oral countermeasures of the Trumpians will be two:

1. Appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, also strengthened by the motivations of the judge who blocked the certification of the vote itself, stating that Governor Keystone's decision on the late postal vote is unconstitutional;
2. the legislative chambers move by issuing a resolution on the subject in joint chambers. The resolution states that Governor Keystone's executive and judicial branches usurped a constitutional power that rested with the legislature. The chambers should have decided the rules for the validation of votes, and the fact that this did not happen undermines the legitimacy of the vote itself.

The resolution of the legislative power opens up another front that can have interesting developments in the Supreme Court: if the legislative power considers itself defrauded of the ability to define the electoral process, we have a further element that will have to be judged by the supreme judicial order.

Republicans in all states are working hard to support Trump also because his popularity is still very high and abandoning his position would be the political death of the party.
