Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Degraffenreid

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petitions for writs of certiorari filed by the Pennsylvania Republican and Democratic parties challenging a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that extended the mail‑ballot receipt deadline. In dissent, Justices Thomas and Alito argue that the Court should have granted review because the case raises a fundamental constitutional question about state courts overriding legislatively enacted election rules and because the issues are not moot under the capable‑of‑repetition exception.
