Barrett was a terrible choice as was Kavanaugh!!!

SCOTUS refuses to hear Pa. election lawsuits

The Supreme Court has rejected three GOP elections-related lawsuits regarding the state of Pennsylvania.

In a six-to-three decision Monday, the court refused to hear a case challenging a three-day extension of the deadline to receive mail-in ballots in the state. Justices John Roberts, Amy Comey Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh sided with their liberal colleagues while Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

The court also moved to deny hearing a case seeking to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state and another similar case by the Trump campaign. In the dissent, Justice Thomas argued “the absence of evidence of voter fraud is not enough to instill confidence in election integrity.”............

This decision doesn't surprise me at all.  I've expected it since the court refused to hear the arguments before the electoral college vote.
