It seems they've shut the door on changing the election.
The two judges which said they should hear the case still said they wouldn't throw out votes. In other words, even if the case was heard and won the remedy would be that Pennsylvania would have to change their processes for next time.
Even if they found the state had acted improperly in allowing mailing in ballots it would have been a matter of technicality and so throwing out the votes of
every person in the state would be too extreme a measure. The Republicans, in court, were not arguing these votes were not genuine and actual votes but that the way the election was run was invalid. Not enough to justify throwing legitimate votes in the bin.
Now if the Republicans could prove that these votes were fraudulent then they might have a case but they can't and, again in court, have not alleged that.
So unless Trump has something else the Supreme Court does not appear to be on course to overturn the election.
Trump's only options are the House rebelling against the EC or a literal military coup.
