Will SCOTUS hand the election to Trump if there is ambiguity after election day?

If we are in a Florida 2000 scenario, absolutely. If its a desperate attempt to cling to power, nope. We have to remember that legitimacy is crucial to maintaining power, and as much as Trump is despised, he won the election according to the rules in 2016. If Trump is losing, the GOP leadership will drop him like a rock - why should they stick out their necks for a loser. Same with the courts, why build animosity now when they have years to (or a year if dems are going to react then pack) to do what they want? Good examples are recent elections in NC, WI, and KY. The GOp throws up every barrior before the election, and after if its within a margin to contest, but will drop a loser if hes losing. They won't disrupt the legitimacy of the electoral process because them and every politician survives on that legitimacy.
