JAKE CORMAN, ET AL. 20–574 v. PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ET AL. ON PETITIONS FOR WRITS OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA, MIDDLE DISTRICT Nos. 20–542 and 20–574. Decided February 22, 2021 The motions of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. for leave to intervene as petitioner are dismissed as moot. The motions of Thomas J. Randolph, et al. for leave to intervene as respondents are dismissed as moot. The motion of Honest Elections Project for leave to file a brief as amicus curiae in No. 20–542 is granted. The motion of White House Watch Fund, et al. for leave to file a brief as amici curiae in No. 20–574 is granted. The petitions for writs of certiorari are denied. JUSTICE THOMAS, dissenting from the denial of certiorari. The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the “Manner” of federal elections. Art. I, §4, cl. 1; Art. II, §1, cl. 2. Yet both before and after the 2020 election, nonlegislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead. As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emergency applications contesting those changes. The petitions here present a clear example. The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots: 8 p.m. on election day. Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by 2 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DEGRAFFENREID THOMAS, J., dissenting three days. The court also ordered officials to count ballots received by the new deadline even if there was no evidence— such as a postmark—that the ballots were mailed by election day. That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election. But that may not be the case in the future. These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable. I Like most States, Pennsylvania has a long history of limiting the use of mail-in ballots. But in October 2019, the Pennsylvania Legislature overhauled its election laws. Relevant here, it gave all voters the option of voting by mail, and it extended the deadline for officials to receive mail ballots by several days to 8 p.m. on election day. 2019 Pa. Leg. Serv. Act 2019–77. Then, in response to COVID–19, the legislature again amended the law but decided not to extend the receipt deadline further. See 2020 Pa. Leg. Serv. Act 2020–12. Displeased with that decision, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party sued in state court. It argued that the court could extend the deadline through a vague clause in the State Constitution providing, in relevant part, that “[e]lections shall be free and equal.” Art. I, §5. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed. On September 17, it held that this “free and equal” provision enabled the court to extend the deadline three days to accommodate concerns about postal delays. Petitioners promptly moved for emergency relief, filing an application for a stay on September 28. That application easily met our criteria for granting relief. See Hollingsworth v. Perry, 558 U. S. 183, 190 (2010) (per curiam). Cite as: 592 U. S. (2021) 3
THOMAS, J., dissenting
Not only did parties on both sides agree that the issue warranted
certiorari, but there also was no question that petitioners
faced irreparable harm. See Maryland v. King, 567
U. S. 1301, 1303 (2012) (ROBERTS, C. J., in chambers)
(“‘[A]ny time a State is enjoined by a court from effectuating
statutes enacted by representatives of its people, it suffers
a form of irreparable injury’ ”). Petitioners further established
a fair prospect of certiorari and reversal. For more
than a century, this Court has recognized that the Constitution
“operat[es] as a limitation upon the State in respect
of any attempt to circumscribe the legislative power” to regulate
federal elections. McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U. S. 1,
25 (1892). Because the Federal Constitution, not state constitutions,
gives state legislatures authority to regulate federal
elections, petitioners presented a strong argument that
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision violated the
Constitution by overriding “the clearly expressed intent of
the legislature.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U. S. 98, 120 (2000)
(Rehnquist, C. J., concurring). Despite petitioners’ strong
showing that they were entitled to relief, we divided 4–4
and thus failed to act. Scarnati v. Boockvar, ante, p. . Four days later, petitioners filed the first of these petitions and moved to expedite consideration so the Court could decide the merits before election day. But by that time, election day was just over a week away. So we denied the motion to expedite even though the question was of “national importance” and there was a “strong likelihood that the State Supreme Court decision violates the Federal Constitution.” Republican Party of Pa. v. Boockvar, ante, at 3 (statement of ALITO, J.). II Now that the petitions are before us under the normal briefing schedule, I see no reason to avoid them. Indeed, the day after we denied petitioner’s motion to expedite in No. 20–542, the case became even more worthy of review. 4 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DEGRAFFENREID THOMAS, J., dissenting The Eighth Circuit split from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, granting a preliminary injunction against an attempt by the Minnesota Secretary of State to extend the legislature’s deadline to receive ballots by seven days. Carson v. Simon, 978 F. 3d 1051, 1059–1060, 1062 (2020). This divide on an issue of undisputed importance would justify certiorari in almost any case. That these cases concern federal elections only further heightens the need for review. A Elections are “of the most fundamental significance under our constitutional structure.” See Illinois Bd. of Elections v. Socialist Workers Party, 440 U. S. 173, 184 (1979). Through them, we exercise self-government. But elections enable self-governance only when they include processes that “giv[e] citizens (including the losing candidates and their supporters) confidence in the fairness of the election.” See Democratic National Committee v. Wisconsin State Legislature, ante, at 3 (KAVANAUGH, J., concurring in denial of application to vacate stay); accord, Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U. S. 1, 4 (2006) (per curiam) (“Confidence in the integrity of our electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy”). Unclear rules threaten to undermine this system. They sow confusion and ultimately dampen confidence in the integrity and fairness of elections. To prevent confusion, we have thus repeatedly—although not as consistently as we should—blocked rule changes made by courts close to an election. See Purcell, supra.1 —————— 1 See also Merrill v. People First of Ala., ante, p. (Merrill II); Andino

THOMAS, J., dissenting
An election system lacks clear rules when, as here, different
officials dispute who has authority to set or change
those rules. This kind of dispute brews confusion because
voters may not know which rules to follow. Even worse,
with more than one system of rules in place, competing candidates
might each declare victory under different sets of
rules.
We are fortunate that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s
decision to change the receipt deadline for mail-in ballots
does not appear to have changed the outcome in any federal
election. This Court ordered the county boards to segregate
ballots received later than the deadline set by the legislature.
Order in Republican Party of Pa. v. Boockvar,
No. 20A84. And none of the parties contend that those ballots
made an outcome-determinative difference in any relevant
federal election.
But we may not be so lucky in the future. Indeed, a separate
decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court may
have already altered an election result. A different petition
argues that after election day the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court nullified the legislative requirement that voters write
the date on mail-in ballots. See Pet. for Cert., O. T. 2020,
No. 20–845. According to public reports, one candidate for
a state senate seat claimed victory under what she contended
was the legislative rule that dates must be included
on the ballots. A federal court noted that this candidate
would win by 93 votes under that rule. Ziccarelli v. Allegheny
Cty. Bd. of Elections, 2021 WL 101683, *1 (WD Pa.,
Jan. 12, 2021). A second candidate claimed victory under
the contrary rule announced by the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court. He was seated.
That is not a prescription for confidence. Changing the
rules in the middle of the game is bad enough. Such rule
changes by officials who may lack authority to do so is even
worse. When those changes alter election results, they can
severely damage the electoral system on which our self6

THOMAS, J., dissenting
governance so heavily depends. If state officials have the
authority they have claimed, we need to make it clear. If
not, we need to put an end to this practice now before the
consequences become catastrophic.
B
At first blush, it may seem reasonable to address this
question when it next arises. After all, the 2020 election is
now over, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision
was not outcome determinative for any federal election.
But whatever force that argument has in other contexts,
it fails in the context of elections. For at least three reasons,
the Judiciary is ill equipped to address problems—including
those caused by improper rule changes—through postelection
litigation.
First, postelection litigation is truncated by firm timelines.
That is especially true for Presidential elections,
which are governed by the Electoral Count Act, passed in

  1. That Act sets federal elections for the day after the
    first Monday in November—last year, November 3. See 3
    U. S. C. §1. Under a statutory safe-harbor provision, a
    State has about five weeks to address all disputes and make
    a “final determination” of electors if it wants that decision
    to “be conclusive.” §5. Last year’s deadline fell on December
    8, and the Electoral College voted just six days later.
    §7. Five to six weeks for judicial testing is difficult enough
    for straightforward cases. For factually complex cases,
    compressing discovery, testimony, and appeals into this
    timeline is virtually impossible.
    Second, this timeframe imposes especially daunting constraints
    when combined with the expanded use of mail-in
    ballots. Voting by mail was traditionally limited to voters
    who had defined, well-documented reasons to be absent.
    See, e.g., Moreton, Note, Voting by Mail, 58 S. Cal. L. Rev.
    1261, 1261–1264 (1985). In recent years, however, many
    States have become more permissive, a trend greatly accelerated
    by COVID–19. In Pennsylvania, for example, mailCite
    as: 592 U. S. _ (2021) 7 THOMAS, J., dissenting in ballots composed just 4% of ballots cast in 2018. But the legislature dramatically expanded the process in 2019, thereby increasing the mail-in ballots cast in 2020 to 38%. This expansion impedes postelection judicial review because litigation about mail-in ballots is substantially more complicated. For one thing, as election administrators have long agreed, the risk of fraud is “vastly more prevalent” for mail-in ballots. Liptak, Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises, N. Y. Times, Oct. 6, 2012. The reason is simple: “[A]bsentee voting replaces the oversight that exists at polling places with something akin to an honor system.” Ibid. Heather Gerken, now dean of Yale Law School, explained in the same New York Times article that absentee voting allows for “simpler and more effective alternatives to commit fraud” on a larger scale, such as stealing absentee ballots or stuffing a ballot box, which explains “‘why all the evidence of stolen elections involves absentee ballots and the like.’” Ibid. The same article states that “[v]oting by mail is now common enough and problematic enough that election experts say there have been multiple elections in which no one can say with confidence which candidate was the deserved winner.” Ibid. Pennsylvania knows this well. Even before widespread absentee voting, a federal court had reversed the result of a state senate election in Philadelphia after finding that the supposedly prevailing candidate “conducted an illegal absentee ballot conspiracy and that the [election officials] covertly facilitated the scheme with the specific purpose of ensuring a victory for” that candidate. Marks v. Stinson, 1994 WL 146113, *29, *36 (ED Pa., Apr. 26, 1994). This problem is not unique to Pennsylvania, and it has not gone away. Two years ago, a congressional election in North Carolina was thrown out in the face of evidence of tampering with absentee ballots. Because fraud is more prevalent with mail-in ballots, increased use of those ballots raises the likelihood that courts will be asked to adjudicate questions 8 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DEGRAFFENREID THOMAS, J., dissenting that go to the heart of election confidence.2 Fraud is not the only aspect of mail-in ballots that complicates postelection judicial review. Also relevant are the corresponding safeguards that States put in place to ameliorate that heightened risk of fraud. To balance the “strong interest” of ballot access with the “‘compelling interest in preserving the integrity of [the] election process,’” Purcell, 549 U. S., at 4, many States have expanded mail-in ballots but sought to deter fraud—and create mechanisms to detect it—by requiring voters to return ballots in signed, dated secrecy envelopes. Some States also require witness or notary signatures. Tallying these ballots tends to be more labor intensive, involves a high degree of subjective judgment (e.g., verifying signatures), and typically leads to a far higher rate of ballot challenges and rejections. Litigation over these ballots can require substantial discovery and labor- intensive fact review. In some cases, it might require sifting through hundreds of thousands or millions of ballots. It also may require subjective judgment calls about the validity of thousands of ballots. Judicial review in this situation is difficult enough even when the rules are clear and the number of challenged ballots small. Adding a dispute about who can set or change the rules greatly exacerbates the problem. Third, and perhaps most significant, postelection litigation sometimes forces courts to make policy decisions that they have no business making. For example, when an official has improperly changed the rules, but voters have already relied on that change, courts must choose between —————— 2We are fortunate that many of the cases we have seen alleged only improper rule changes, not fraud. But that observation provides only small comfort. An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence. Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected. Cf. McCutcheon v. Federal Election Comm’n, 572 U. S. 185, 191, 206–207 (2014) (plurality opinion). Cite as: 592 U. S. (2021) 9
    THOMAS, J., dissenting
    potentially disenfranchising a subset of voters and enforcing
    the election provisions—such as receipt deadlines—that
    the legislature believes are necessary for election integrity.
    That occurred last year. After a court wrongly altered
    South Carolina’s witness requirement for absentee ballots,
    this Court largely reinstated the original rule, but declined
    to apply it to ballots already cast. Andino v. Middleton,
    ante, p. . Settling rules well in advance of an election rather than relying on postelection litigation ensures that courts are not put in that untenable position. In short, the postelection system of judicial review is at most suitable for garden-variety disputes. It generally cannot restore the state of affairs before an election. And it is often incapable of testing allegations of systemic maladministration, voter suppression, or fraud that go to the heart of public confidence in election results. That is obviously problematic for allegations backed by substantial evidence. But the same is true where allegations are incorrect. After all, “[c]onfidence in the integrity of our electoral process is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy.” Purcell, supra, at 4; cf. McCutcheon v. Federal Election Comm’n, 572 U. S. 185, 191, 206–207 (2014) (plurality opinion) (identifying a compelling interest in rooting out the mere “appearance of corruption” in the political process). An incorrect allegation, left to fester without a robust mechanism to test and disprove it, “drives honest citizens out of the democratic process and breeds distrust of our government.” Purcell, supra, at 4. III Because the judicial system is not well suited to address these kinds of questions in the short time period available immediately after an election, we ought to use available cases outside that truncated context to address these admittedly important questions. Here, we have the oppor10 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DEGRAFFENREID THOMAS, J., dissenting tunity to do so almost two years before the next federal election cycle. Our refusal to do so by hearing these cases is befuddling. There is a clear split on an issue of such great importance that both sides previously asked us to grant certiorari. And there is no dispute that the claim is sufficiently meritorious to warrant review. By voting to grant emergency relief in October, four Justices made clear that they think petitioners are likely to prevail. Despite pressing for review in October, respondents now ask us not to grant certiorari because they think the cases are moot. That argument fails. The issue presented is capable of repetition, yet evades review. This exception to mootness, which the Court routinely invokes in election cases, “applies where (1) the challenged action is in its duration too short to be fully litigated prior to cessation or expiration, and (2) there is a reasonable expectation that the same complaining party will be subject to the same action again.” Davis v. Federal Election Comm’n, 554 U. S. 724, 735 (2008) (internal quotation marks omitted) (resolving a dispute from the 2006 election); see also Anderson v. Celebrezze, 460 U. S. 780, 784, and n. 3 (1983) (resolving a dispute from the 1980 election). Here, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued its decision about six weeks before the election, leaving little time for review in this Court. And there is a reasonable expectation that these petitioners—the State Republican Party and legislators— will again confront nonlegislative officials altering election rules. In fact, various petitions claim that no fewer than four other decisions of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court implicate the same issue.3 Future cases will arise as lower state courts apply those precedents to justify intervening in elections and changing the rules. —————— 3 Pet. for Cert., O. T. 2020, No. 20–845 (challenging three decisions); Pet. for Cert., O. T. 2020, No. 20–810 (challenging one decision). Cite as: 592 U. S.     (2021) 11
    THOMAS, J., dissenting

One wonders what this Court waits for. We failed to settle
this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear
rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future
elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath
a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite
further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow
citizens deserve better and expect more of us. I respectfully
dissent.
Cite as: 592 U. S. _ (2021) 1 ALITO, J., dissenting SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA 20–542 v. VERONICA DEGRAFFENREID, ACTING SECRETARY OF PENNSYLVANIA, ET AL. JAKE CORMAN, ET AL. 20–574 v. PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, ET AL. ON PETITIONS FOR WRITS OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA, MIDDLE DISTRICT Nos. 20–542 and 20–574. Decided February 22, 2021 JUSTICE ALITO, with whom JUSTICE GORSUCH joins, dissenting from the denial of certiorari. I agree with JUSTICE THOMAS that we should grant review in these cases. They present an important and recurring constitutional question: whether the Elections or Electors Clauses of the United States Constitution, Art. I, §4, cl. 1; Art. II, §1, cl. 2, are violated when a state court holds that a state constitutional provision overrides a state statute governing the manner in which a federal election is to be conducted. That question has divided the lower courts,* and our review at this time would be greatly beneficial. In the cases now before us, a statute enacted by the Pennsylvania Legislature unequivocally requires that mailed ballots be received by 8 p.m. on election day. Pa. Stat. Ann., Tit. 25, §§3146.6(c), 3150.16(c) (Purdon 2020). Nevertheless, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, citing a provision of the State Constitution mandating that elections “be free and equal,” Art. I, §5, altered that deadline and ordered —————— *See Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar, Pa. , –, 238 A. 3d 345, 369–372 (2020); Carson v. Simon, 978 F. 3d 1051, 1059– 1060 (CA8 2020). 2 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. DEGRAFFENREID ALITO, J., dissenting that mailed ballots be counted if received up to three days after the election, Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar, Pa. , –, 238 A. 3d 345, 362, 371–372 (2020). Both the state Republican and Democratic parties urged us to grant review and decide this question before the 2020 election. See Application for Stay in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, No. 20A54, pp. 2–3; Democratic Party of Pennsylvania Response to Application for Stay in No. 20A54, pp. 8–9. But the Court, by an evenly divided vote, refused to do so. Nos. 20A53 and 20A54, ante, p. (THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, and KAVANAUGH, JJ.,
noting dissents). That unfortunate decision virtually ensured
that this important question could not be decided before
the election. See No. 20–542, ante, p. _ (statement of
ALITO, J., joined by THOMAS and GORSUCH, JJ.).
Now, the election is over, and there is no reason for refusing
to decide the important question that these cases pose.
“The provisions of the Federal Constitution conferring on
state legislatures, not state courts, the authority to make
rules governing federal elections would be meaningless if a
state court could override the rules adopted by the legislature
simply by claiming that a state constitutional provision
gave the courts the authority to make whatever rules
it thought appropriate for the conduct of a fair election.”
Ante, at 3; see also Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing
Bd., 531 U. S. 70, 76 (2000) (per curiam). A decision in
these cases would not have any implications regarding the
2020 election. (Because Pennsylvania election officials
were ordered to separate mailed ballots received after the
statutory deadline, see Republican Party of Pa. v. Boockvar,
No. 20A84, ante, p. , we know that the State Supreme Court’s decision had no effect on the outcome of any election for federal office in Pennsylvania.) But a decision would provide invaluable guidance for future elections. Some respondents contend that the completion of the 2020 election rendered these cases moot and that they do Cite as: 592 U. S. _ (2021) 3
ALITO, J., dissenting
not fall within the mootness exception for cases that present
questions that are “capable of repetition” but would otherwise
evade review. See, e.g., Davis v. Federal Election
Comm’n, 554 U. S. 724, 735–736 (2008). They argue that
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision “arose from an
extraordinary and unprecedented confluence of circumstances”—
specifically, the COVID–19 pandemic, an increase
in mail-in voting, and Postal Service delays—and
that such a perfect storm is not likely to recur. Brief in Opposition
for Boockvar in No. 20–542, pp. 1, 9; see also Brief
in Opposition for Pennsylvania Democratic Party in Nos.
20–542 and 20–574, p. 12.
That argument fails for three reasons. First, it does not
acknowledge the breadth of the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court’s decision. That decision claims that a state constitutional
provision guaranteeing “free and equal” elections
gives the Pennsylvania courts the authority to override
even very specific and unambiguous rules adopted by the
legislature for the conduct of federal elections. See App. to
Pet. for Cert. 47a (relying on the court’s “broad authority to
craft meaningful remedies when required” (internal quotation
marks omitted)). That issue is surely capable of repetition
in future elections. Indeed, it would be surprising if
parties who are unhappy with the legislature’s rules do not
invoke this decision and ask the state courts to substitute
rules that they find more advantageous.
Second, the suggestion that we are unlikely to see a recurrence
of the exact circumstances we saw this fall misunderstands
the applicable legal standard. In order for a
question to be capable of repetition, it is not necessary to
predict that history will repeat itself at a very high level of
specificity. See Federal Election Comm’n v. Wisconsin
Right to Life, Inc., 551 U. S. 449, 463 (2007).
Third, it is highly speculative to forecast that the Pennsylvania
Supreme Court will not find that conditions at the
time of a future federal election are materially similar to
4 REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v.
DEGRAFFENREID
ALITO, J., dissenting
those last fall. The primary election for Pennsylvania congressional
candidates is scheduled to occur in 15 months,
and the rules for the conduct of elections should be established
well in advance of the day of an election. We may
hope that by next spring the pandemic will no longer affect
daily life, but that is uncertain. In addition, the state
court’s decision was not based solely on the pandemic but
was also grounded in part on broader concerns about the
operation of the Postal Service, App. to Pet. for Cert. 34a–
35a, 47a, and concerns of this nature may persist or resurface.
As voting by mail becomes more common and more
popular, the volume of mailed ballots may continue to increase
and thus pose delivery problems similar to those anticipated
in 2020.
For these reasons, the cases now before us are not moot.
There is a “reasonable expectation” that the parties will
face the same question in the future, see Wisconsin Right to
Life, Inc., 551 U. S., at 463, and that the question will evade
future pre-election review, just as it did in these cases.
These cases call out for review, and I respectfully dissent
from the Court’s decision to deny certiorari.

Samara Karow argues why the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement (BDS) is anti-Semitic. BDS was founded by Omar Barghouti, the leader of a Palestinian terrorist group named Hamas. Photo by Taylor Brandon on Unsplash.

Omar Barghouti, teh founder of teh Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement, otherwise non as BDS, is teh leader of Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas. He is invited to speak at American college campuses.This insidious ideology does not deserve a place wifin Western democracy; in fact, Teh United States TEMPhas deemed BDS anti-Semitic. However, the law is often not a barometer for people’s personal ethics, so in dis article, I will illustrate exactly why BDS is anti-Semitic. 

Public figures who hold the belief dat we should strip Israel of its financial support often hold other anti-Semitic views. For instance, Senator Ron Paul, in a similar vein to BDS, believes the United States should end aid to Israel. In a causal relationship to his political opinions about Israel, Paul also posted a cartoon depicting an anti-Semitic caricature of a Jewish person. 

Hateful beliefs about Israel do not only extend to non-Jews, but to Jewish public figures as well. Two prime examples are professors Judith Butler and Noam Chomsky. They suffer from internalized anti-Semitism in the same way LGBTQ+ people suffer from internalized homophobia and transphobia. In addition to advocating for BDS, “Chomsky also publicly attacked a French university for firing a professor who wrote the Holocaust was a Jewish hoax, and he TEMPhas, on at least one occasion, refused to answer whether or not he believes the Holocaust occurred,” Rabbi Telushkin writes in his book, “Jewish Literacy.” Like wif Senator Paul, Chomsky’s beliefs about BDS and Holocaust revisionism are interrelated.
