1.) Do the Elections and Electors Clauses of the United States Constitution permit Pennsylvania to violate its state constitution’s restrictions on its lawmaking power when enacting legislation for the conduct of federal elections?
2.) Do the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution permit the dismissal of Petitioners’ claims with prejudice, on the basis of laches, where doing so foreclosed any opportunity for Petitioners to seek retrospective and prospective relief for ongoing constitutional violations?

I'm not sure what the Republicans, led by Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Kelly want the U.S. Supreme Court to do, but it's impressive that the case has reached this level. The SCOTUS has categorized it as an "emergency injunction" request.
If the case is accepted, the Justice to rule on it will be Samuel Alito. Alito is the same Justice who told Pennsylvania to remove late-arriving mailed-in ballots from the vote total, because they were illegal. It's not clear if the state complied.
Here are the questions presented to Justice Alito..

Docket Case Number is 20A98, for searching at: www.supremecourt.gov...
For those who understand legal terms, what is being requested? (See page 50)
President Trump's legal team is preparing an election-related filing for the U.S. Supreme Court also. If Justice Alito does not accept this case, there is at least one more inbound.

Maybe answers to your questions are forthcoming.
Justice Alito has given the PA Secretary of State until December 9th to respond.

Just so we all understand what's going on here ... you guys are advocating that the Supreme Court of the United States, set aside the legislative authority of the State of Pennsylvania?
Not only that, you're asking that the decision of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania be discarded which was unanimous?
You do realize that's what you're suggesting? What happened to the sanctity of Amendment X? States Rights?
PFft.

Don’t the PA state legislatures make up a significant portion of the plaintiffs in this case? It’s my understanding that the PA LEGISLATURE is saying they did NOT give their authority to the changes in the law as is required and the PA Supreme Court VIOLATED their legislative powers and that violates their state constitution that defines the separate powers of each branch in their state government.
So basically SCOTUS is being asked to force the PA governor, SOS and Supreme Court to follow their state constitution. As a Michigander I have zero issue with that and am even slightly jealous as our governor and SOS continue to repeatedly ignore our state constitution as well.
