  We do not reach theseconclusionslightly. We are mindful of the magnitude and weight of thequestionsnowbefore us. We are likewise mindful of our solemndutyto apply thelaw,withoutfearorfavor,and without being swayed by public reaction to thedecisionsthat the law mandates we reach.
  We are also cognizant that we travel in uncharted territory, and that this case presents several issues of first impression. But for our resolution of the Electors’ challenge under the Election Code, the Secretary would be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot.
  Therefore, to maintain the status quo pending any review by theU.S. Supreme Court,we stay our ruling until January 4, 2024 (the day before the Secretary’s deadline to certify the content of the presidential primary ballot). If review is sought in the Supreme Court before the stay expires on January 4, 2024, then the stay shall remain in place, and the Secretary will continue to be required to include President Trump’s name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot, until the receipt of any order or mandate from the Supreme Court.
