Republicans ask Supreme Court to halt Pennsylvania count
Supporters of Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden hold up signs outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center as ballot counting continues inside in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 6, 2020.
A US Supreme Court justice on Friday denied a request by Pennsylvania's Republicans to immediately halt the counting of ballots arriving after Election Day -- referring the challenge to the full court for a ruling on Saturday.
Samuel Alito ordered Pennsylvania in the meantime to continue keeping the late-arriving ballots separate, affirming a decision already made by the state's top elections official.
