Alan Dershowitz Predicts Trump Will Win Pennsylvania Lawsuit
“I do think that Trump will win the Pennsylvania lawsuit … namely, the lawsuit that challenges ballots that were filed before the end of Election Day, but not received until after Election Day,” Dershowitz said.
“The [Pennsylvania] legislature had basically said no to that, and the state Supreme Court said yes because of the pandemic,” he continued. “That may have been the right decision in some theoretical sense, but the Constitution doesn’t permit anybody in the state but the legislature to make decisions about elections.”
Citing the Bush v. Gore case in 2000, Dershowitz asserted that President Trump may very well overturn the Pennsylvania election call if he and his legal team can prove that the segregated ballots helped sway the election.
“That was decided [inaudible] in Bush versus Gore, and I think that four-to-four vote would become a five-to-four vote if the issue came before the Supreme Court and there were enough disputed ballots to make a difference in the outcome of the election. That remains to be seen,” he said, later adding: “As I understand the facts of the case — although I think what the judiciary did may have been the right thing morally: if you get your ballot in on time, you shouldn’t be denied the vote just because the post office screwed up — I don’t think you can really make that argument under Article Two. I do think that the Republican argument is the stronger one.”
“The Supreme Court will take that case only if it would make a difference, only if the plaintiffs — the Republicans — can show that the number of disputed ballots that were subject to sequestration by Justice Alito’s decision exceeds the difference between the winning margin and the losing margin,” he concluded, later adding: “The Pennsylvania constitutional argument is a wholesale argument that clearly belongs in federal courts.”
As The Daily Wire reported, Justice Samuel Alito hinted that SCOTUS might take up the Pennsylvania case when he ordered that the state’s election boards segregate ballots that arrived after 8 PM on election day.“

Let's not forget that Alan Dershowitz was in cahoot with Epstein, so this might have something to do with his opinion.

Who cares? Only around 10,000 ballots are at issue. Biden won the state by more than 50,000.
