to allow a Democratic candidate for a federal seat to "win". and the SCOTUS should have let that go forward?

Well, since a candidate for President does not "win" until the Congress counts the electoral votes, and since the Florida Legislature was and is the sole provider of electors, I presume that said Republican legislature would have submitted a slate of electors to the Republican House of Representatives which would have satisfied your expectations without violating the Constitution.

The fact that the Florida Supreme Court was planning to create a second, non-Constitutional slate of pseudo-electors is not the business of the Supreme Court-it is the business of the People and their Congress.

that FL supreme court could have issued ruling after ruling stopping certification of results they did not like, or stopping the legislature. sure, what you describe looks good on paper as the law is written. but since when do these liberal courts care about that? florida would have been a nightmare if the SCOTUS had not acted.
