<It's also legal to require counties to certify their votes by 5 pm Tuesday under Florida law.> So long as in doing so, the Secretary of State does not abuse the discretion she is given under the statute. I don't think that is a court battle she will win.

You're right, and this deadline has me flummoxed, since Florida law also specifies that absentee ballots must be counted if they come in by Friday. How do you certify first and count later?
