The Constitution sets out very specific rules for who gets to decide these issues. The state legislature gets to decide the terms of voting, not the state judiciary. The courts are not generally in the business of drawing arbitrary lines. That is the job of the legislature, which can be arbitrary as long as they aren’t unconstitutionally unreasonable.
The US Supreme Court has already asked them to segregate those late votes in the event they have to decide the case. They needed a factual predicate, i.e., how many votes were cast on time, but received late. The number could be a few hundred or thousands.
So, this isn’t over. The PA courts overstepped their bounds.
However, because we live in an emotional age, it appears to me that the courts will be more concerned about riots than what is Constitutional. All eyes on Amy Coney Barrett.

Trump needs to win Georgia as well, and Arizona. Georgia has still over 10k votes to count, and I heard they have a split of blue counties and military personnel, so it is hart to tell if those votes will favor Biden or Trump. Arizona is on its way to become red.
