The Roberts Court might not act on the Trump regime’s motion. This sort of emergency relief request goes first to the Circuit Justice (here, Kagan) who can address it individually or refer it to the full Court. This process takes time. Were winning margins in the CA House races so big that the Trump regime lists wouldn’t make a difference even if they were wholly accurate, the issue could become moot. But California tallying takes weeks, so the case won’t be mooted in this way any time soon. 7/

Note: the motion includes a request for an administrative stay, which does not depend on assessment of the underlying merits of the substantive injunctive relief requested. If Kagan or the full Court grants an administrative stay, CA would have to hold aside the ballots while Kagan or the full Court considers the substantive injunction. 8/
