The party that appoints members of the court will tend to appoint judges whose interpretation of the law and other controversial items is similar to their own. (similar philosophies)

For sure. I was just trying to draw the distinction between having a similar philosophy and being a political hack, angling for a particular candidate's victory. I am not a lawyer, but there are clearly a bunch of contradictory statutes regarding manual recounts that the judges aimed to interpret.

I hope we get a more balanced view from the Supreme Court whichever way it goes

What I keep hearing is that due to the more conservative makeup of the Supreme Court, they are unlikely to intervene in a matter that has traditionally been under the jurisdiction of the states. What is the federal issue involved here?
