The Supreme Court on Monday shut down a GOP-led effort to block an extended period for counting ballots in the crucial presidential swing state of Pennsylvania.
Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the high court’s three liberals, resulting in a 4-4 tie. Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh sided with the state GOP.
The court is not at full capacity and was forced to issue a ruling with only eight justices, due to the vacant seat left behind by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which will presumably be filled by President Trump’s nominee Amy Coney Barrett.
