oops! typo! therefore, you lose the case

am I lolyering correctly
this is absolutely nuts

they're citing the PA court's insane decision that "the lack of a handwritten date" is a "minor defect" that "does not void the ballot"

Alito specifically reprimanded them for this
this is even worse

they're doubling and quadrupling down on their open defiance of Alito's order
this is all just a bunch of handwaving and "I can't even," it's Reddit The Legal Filing

shocking lack of actual substantive argument

they're banking on the political ramifications being too great; they think Alito and Thomas are bluffing
the essence of their legal argument, such as it is, is that "state legislatures aren't allowed to violate state constitutions" where "violations of the state constitution" are whatever the state supreme court says it is--up to and including ad hoc rewrites of election law
in other words: PA's argument here is that the state legislature doesn't actually get to determine how the election happens, *IF* the state supreme court disagrees with PA election law, *BECAUSE* the PA SC "interprets the state constitution"

this is hog-wild judicial supremacism
