The thing going around during the leadup is that judges and their families were being threatened by Antifa if they didn't throw out the election cases. By increasing their protection, they will uphold the law like they were supposed to. If they were to view the cases, the evidence is conclusive of a cheat and they'd be forced to rule as such or else risk losing their job. If they throw out the case on a technicality, they can save face and appease Antifa. Its not great, but I think its realistic enough.
