Right. I am just saying that I don't know how a decision in this matter would not be moot.

If the SC were to decide that the Fl SC was interpreting the law allowing an extension of the vote counting, then all the SC has to do is get over the hurdle of State's Rights [not a small hurdle, but they went over a smaller hurdle just by agreeing to hear the case] and then assert that the states deadlines and Fl SC interpretation are based on Constitutional deadlines. Then the Court says voter intent is most important and tells Fl to do the manual count, and re-certify, before the Electoral College meets.

This is not a prediction. Merely a speculation on a decision that would not be moot.

Regards,
