Alito’s treatment of the emergency application basically comes down to “interesting constitutional question to consider for future elections, won’t affect this one”, somewhat increases the the chances that the court will grant cert.  If they do, I would bet long odds that the decision will not be split along conservative/liberal lines - the constitutional question in this case is not inherently political, it’s about whether the federal constitution empowers state legislatures to override a state court’s interpretation of the state constitution.
