There is no constitutional time limit on when election results have to be complete. They have very frequently in the past taken much longer. At the time of their ruling, the SC did not know how the final count would turn out. They did not want to know.
I.e., the majority on the SC was completely OK with the idea of having stolen the election.

The issue was the suing party only wanted to recount 4 counties that they had the biggest advantage in - what is a legitimate reason for that? Also, there are limits base don when the electors are required to meet, and the President was term limited. There is no legal way for him to have remained in office beyond the expiration of his 2nd term.

The party requesting a re-count was obliged to say which counties they wanted re-counted. Either side could buy re-counts anywhere they liked.
- yucky 4y agoYou just said there was no deadline and then proceeded to give one of the deadlines. There are actually several, but that's just piling on.
