SCOTUS already ruled on this against. They clearly stated that a judge's vote doesn't count since he died prior to the ruling being issued, which is the point the judge's votes actually count

Wrong

Already? On THIS? no. SCOTUS ruled just yesterday.

You did not read up about what you are posting.

9th circuit erroneously let a dead judge vote on April 9, 2018, who died 11 days earlier.

SUPREME COURT you refer to is the US , not state , supreme court (SCOTUS), and was not until yesterday.

Here is SCOTUS link to SCOTUS website posted yesterday :

https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/022519zor_8mjp.pdf#page=13

Read the last page :

"Because Judge Reinhardt was no longer a judge at the time when the en banc decision in this case was filed, the Ninth Circuit erred in counting him as a member of the
majority. That practice effectively allowed a deceased
judge to exercise the judicial power of the United States after his death. But federal judges are appointed for life, not for eternity."

read especially : "vacate the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for theNinth Circuit"

So the judgement you claim was vacated by SCOTUS in the past is not true, and the 25th of feb SCOTUS overruled the 9th district.

You are correct that the vote counts on issuance time though, when all votes are in.
