If SCOTUS decides "yes, CA should take those voters off the rolls", and they still lose, it would be harder to make the claim that they must have been more ineligible voters casting votes -- because CA's argument would be "you asked us to remove the names you were sure about, and you still lost". Doesn't look good.
So they need to count on the idea that SCOTUS will reject their argument and let CA do whatever we see fit, in which case, they better hope that the Becerra wins by less than 20,000 votes.
I think the main problem here is that Trump is convinced that Hilton can actually win but for the 20,000 voters -- in a state where Trump himself lost by millions. But then, who knows what Natalie keeps whispering to his ears with her sweet sweet voice.
Escalating the war to nullify the elections would have a much stronger appeal at least with his folks (though I'm not sure SCOTUS would be receptive to that argument at all).
