The Spin

Republican narrative

The two voters who originated this case are backed by Democratic groups, while the Pennsylvania high court leans left — there's no denying that Democrats are trying to sully election integrity because they think it gives them an advantage. Tens of thousands of votes in a major swing state may be affected by this rule that usurps the state legislature's power — SCOTUS must intervene to stop this politically motivated masquerade undermining the election.

Democratic narrative

Republicans have decided that voter suppression will be a key to their victory, and they'll do anything to achieve it. SCOTUS has already rejected the idea that the state legislature is immune from court intervention when it comes to regulating federal elections. Yet, the GOP is again putting eligible voters' ability to have their ballots counted at risk by taking superfluous legal action.
