Imagine a scenario where, due to delays in counting mail-in votes, the outcome of the election is not clear on election night. Election nerds like us are pretty confident that Biden will come out on top after some hopefully election night signs, but the networks are playing it safe and holding off on calling the outcome.

Over the following days, the Trump campaign launches a number of lawsuits aiming ultimately at slowing or stopping the counting of mail-in ballots. We also see attempts at physical disruption of vote-counting in key counties in swing states reminiscent of the Brooks Brothers riot in Dade County in 2000.

What does this Supreme do? Will they just allow things to play out as they may, rejecting to hear any lawsuits? Will they issue an injunction? Effectively, will they push Trump over the line or cut him loose?
