If all the names were reversed, this situation would probably have played out the same.

Not exactly.

Might have played out the same until it reached the Florida Supreme Court. But they would have come down 7-0 (or maybe 6-1) and ruled the 7 day time limit for certification inviolate. The election would have been over on September 14. The USSC would have had no role, since the State law existing before the election would have been followed, and the Constitution not violated because the scheme laid out by the legislature had been followed. End of case. President Gore.
