Spoiler: that& #39;s not what the order does
PA& #39;s Governor signed the Certificate of Ascertainment appointing electors yesterday. The court order prohibits "any further action to perfect the certification" – that& #39;s already been perfected
It does nothing https://twitter.com/ivanpentchoukov/status/1331643258024456192">https://twitter.com/ivanpentc...

I mean kudos for linking the order, but at least try to *read* the order before misrepresenting what it says

Nope. I don& #39;t watch any cable news at all.

Think of elections as a multi-step process
There& #39;s an initial count, a precinct-by-precinct canvass that finalizes the count after determining what provisional ballots are valid, sometimes an audit, then a certification of the results
After cert, sometimes a recount

After certification, there are an assortment of administrative things that happen – sending certificates to the electors, for examples
That& #39;s not part of the certification process though. It& #39;s downstream from it.

The Trump People blew their chance to stop certification, getting repeatedly LOL& #39;d out of court
They& #39;re now trying to stop the downstream administrative things, but framing it as "stopping certification"
But certification is already done ("perfected")

The judge& #39;s order prohibits "any further action to perfect the certification"
But b/c the certification is already done / perfected, there are no further actions to stop
And b/c the downstream things aren& #39;t part of certification, it doesn& #39;t affect those either

It& #39;s not just The Epoch Times though
My TL is currently on fire with a number of "mainstream" media personalities claiming certification has been stopped, which is 100% not true https://twitter.com/tmbrown327/status/1331660691388968961">https://twitter.com/tmbrown32...

Went ahead and pinned the first tweet in the thread so folks can find it
The judge& #39;s order has no effect on the presidential election, nor on any down-ballot elections that were already certified
Literally everyone telling you otherwise is wrong

It& #39;s just a Temporary Restraining Order, which is intended to "preserve the status quo" until a hearing can be held
And this order does indeed preserve the status quo – it just doesn& #39;t affect anything that matters https://twitter.com/professorbroad/status/1331663346815430657">https://twitter.com/professor...

It& #39;s not moot in the legal sense: "to the extent that there remains any further action," that action is prohibited
I& #39;d argue it& #39;s more accurate to describe it as a null order. But my assumption is the judge issued it because the litigants asked and the hearing is Friday https://twitter.com/leftofthejokers/status/1331664893527928834">https://twitter.com/leftofthe...

My assumption is the appeal is to either (1) get confirmation that the post-certification downstream administrative acts aren& #39;t part of perfecting certification, and/or (2) allow certification of the down-ballot races to proceed
That& #39;s a @PAAttorneyGen question though https://twitter.com/matthew__cline/status/1331665262903324678">https://twitter.com/matthew__...

Sure, it& #39;s within the realm of things a court could order
It& #39;s not going to happen though, because there& #39;s been no one with standing to sue who also has proof of fraud sufficient that it would call the results into question https://twitter.com/melimel521/status/1331666111629193216">https://twitter.com/melimel52...

*Officially,* yes: both a TRO and preliminary injunction require a litigant to show a likelihood of success before they& #39;re granted
In practice, no. State court judges often grant TROs as a matter of course without looking too closely https://twitter.com/marccs1234/status/1331667730538360832">https://twitter.com/marccs123...

It& #39;s a misnomer; the listed acts are administrative things done after certification, not alongside it or before it
The certification itself was already perfected yesterday https://twitter.com/brandon212_/status/1331673746856357888">https://twitter.com/brandon21...
