REPUBLICAN PARTY OF PENNSYLVANIA v. BOOCKVAR 

Statement of ALITO, J. 

ultimately overturned, a targeted remedy will be available.  
Petitioner represents that it will apply to this Court to ob-
tain that modest relief, Reply in Support of Motion for Ex-
pedited  Review  3,  and  Respondent  DPP  agrees  that  such 
relief is appropriate, Opp. to Motion for Expedited Review 
7.  Although the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected Pe-
titioner’s request for that relief, we have been informed by 
the  Pennsylvania  Attorney  General  that  the  Secretary  of 
the Commonwealth issued guidance today directing county 
boards  of  elections  to  segregate  ballots  received  between 
8:00 p.m. on November 3, 2020, and 5:00 p.m. on November 
6, 2020.  Nothing in the Court’s order today precludes Peti-
tioner from applying to this Court for relief if, for some rea-
son, it is not satisfied with the Secretary’s guidance.
