By The Editorial Board Close The Editorial Board Oct. 29, 2020 7:01 pm ET If you loved the hit 2000 drama Bush v. Gore, then keep your TV sets tuned, as they say. That’s the upshot from two orders Wednesday by the Supreme Court. The Justices declined—at least for now—to save the ballot deadlines created by Legislatures in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. In doing so, the High Court set the stage for a potential legal opera worse than the Florida recount.
Justice Clarence Thomas also wanted to halt the deadline extension, making for three votes. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who took the judicial oath on Tuesday, did not participate. Chief Justice John Roberts perhaps preferred to let the state courts, the state board, and the state Legislature work it out. Justice Brett Kavanaugh presumably sided with the Chief, but the order doesn’t say why.
Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State has advised local officials to quarantine any ballots that arrive after 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. This is a win for the Trump campaign in that it offers a way to unmix the pudding. Justice Alito speaks of a “targeted remedy” being available, if the Supreme Court ultimately overturns the deadline extension. Think what that means, particularly if it’s a close election, with Pennsylvania as the keystone in the Electoral College.
opinion Most people still believe that the candidate most people vote for is the only legitimate person to take office. People will be very angry if SC reversed will of voters. Rs, you are not going to want make us angry.

opinion Like this happened in a vacuum. How is it that the vaunted Wsj has completely ignored that the trump gop has given up vying for voters? Instead it’s the party of canceling ballots, suppressing votes and intimidating voters.
opinion Was really ugly in 2000, hope it won't be too terrible this time around.
opinion Sounds like this supposed stacked Court is not acting in lockstep or predictably.
