JUST IN: This filing by state of PA sums up where we are in that state.
A court today stopped the certification of the PA vote in so far as it wasn't finished in the presidential race. The ruling seems mostly to affect some uncalled state level races. But the Penn wasn't pleased.

The state appealed to the Penn Supreme Court asking for emergency relief.
To be clear, the Commonwealth Court ruling that Pennsylvania has appealed to the PA Supreme Court was a narrow one that set a hearing for Friday on the merits of the underlying suit.

The underlying suit, filed by 2 GOP congressional candidates and others, seeks to find unconstitutional the PA law from last year that permitted mail in ballots.
NEW: The Commonwealth Court that issued the order prompting all of this legal fury has just postponed Friday's evidentiary hearing.
Presumably that's b/c an appeals to the PA Supreme Court acts as an automatic stay.
Ball is in the PA SC's...court.

(I'm being told it's not an automatic stay but rather a discretionary move by the Commonwealth Court to pause and delay the hearing.)
