I literally can't do that because as a result of the court orders the PA SOS isn't allowed to report the segregated count, just like they can't report the numbers associated with other provisional ballots. They can count the ballots internally, but such numbers are segregated from the official count and get added later (if at all).

I can say that Republican observers and lawyers on the ground in PA confirm that the official numbers do not include segregated numbers. If they did, Biden's lead wouldn't even be close. They would have called PA for Biden on Wednesday.

If you choose not to believe the GOP's own observers and lawyers, that's your choice, but I'm not going to indulge in your conspiracy fantasies.

> PA SOS isn't allowed to report the segregated count

The court order does not say that.

Why lie? Furthermore the SCOTUS order was required because the districts felt like they didn't have to comply with the state level order so even if your interpretation is correct you don't know how many of the counted ballots should have been segregated and not counted towards the official count in the first place.

Yes, it does. https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/524900-supreme-...

From TFA: "It was unclear how much of an impact the order might have on Pennsylvania election boards, who Boockvar had previously ordered to segregate and separately count late-arriving ballots."

The state courts had already ordered ballot segregation prior to the ballots being counted.

Furthermore the SCOTUS order was required because the districts felt like they didn't have to comply with the state level order so even if your interpretation is correct you don't know how many of the counted ballots should have been segregated and not counted towards the official count in the first place.

This is simply false. As every news site noted, including Fox News, districts were already doing this because the PA supreme court said that ballots should be segregated.

And moreover, it was not a SCOTUS order. It was a Justice Alito order. The entire SCOTUS did not weigh in.
