They've literally said that they'd be open to doing so, in Pennsylvania.

Typically, rulings issued before Election Day do not change afterward. But just yesterday, Justice Alito, joined by Justices Thomas and Gorsuch, penned an opinion openly inviting interested parties to come back to the court after Election Day to prevent Pennsylvania from counting late-arriving ballots, despite the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling that the state constitution requires those ballots to count, and despite the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court twice denied pre-election motions to block those ballots from being counted. Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, for her part, has agreed to segregate those ballots in the event they are disputed after the votes are cast. So the short answer is yes, there is reason to think that the Supreme Court’s ruling with respect to those ballots could change.

I think the issue is that we're disagreeing about the meaning of the phrase "vast majority" in this context, and the likelihood of it being a large enough Biden win. I just don't think it's at all likely to be that big a blowout, state by state.
