PA Election Lawsuits Timeline

This document outlines the timeline of lawsuits regarding Pennsylvania's election laws in 2020. It shows that in July, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court allowed an extension of the mail-in ballot deadline via a court order. In September, Republican state officials filed applications to stay the ruling, which were denied by the state Supreme Court and US Supreme Court. After the election, Republicans filed an emergency injunction, and Justice Alito ruled that ballots received after election day in Pennsylvania must be kept separate due to the likelihood that the US Supreme Court would overturn the state Supreme Court's order extending the deadline.
