When you say that the United States Supreme Court "normally favors state sovereignty" - well, of course - but the United States Constitution and the United States Code preempt state laws which conflict with them in federal matters, in this case, the election of the President of the United States.

Also, you don't seem to understand that the principles being brought to bear here - the United States Supreme Court is going to adhere to the strict letter of the Florida Election Code, even though the Florida Supreme Court did not. Although the United States Supreme Court ordinarily gives great deference to a decision by a state supreme court interpreting state law, if the interpretation is plainly erroneous, and the matter is of federal importance, they are not going to be deferential.
