Circuit Theory

 The 11th refers to the Eleventh Circuit Court, which includes the State of Georgia. 

The decision by this Circuit Court will face immediately appeal to the Supreme Court. Each Circuit has a Supreme Court Justice assigned to it, who hears the appeals of that court before it possibly goes to the larger court. The Justice assigned to the Eleventh Circuit Court is a native son of Georgia, Clarence Thomas.

For the Circuit that includes Pennsylvania, it is Samuel Alito.

For the Circuit that includes Michigan, it is Brett Kavanaugh.

For the Circuit that includes Wisconsin, it is Amy Coney Barrett.

For the Circuit that includes Arizona and Nevada, it is Elena Kagan. One can perhaps see part of the reason why Trump is relying on state-level officials acting autonomously in these states.
