Maybe, bet their last resort would be to try and prevent the state of Florida from sending any electors, in which case they would have a majority of the electors. I don't think so. The constitution does not provide for a state to not send in its electoral vote. Nowhere does it say something like "if you don't send yours in on time, we will count the rest without yours". Nope, it directs the states to send it in. "Shall" is absolute. If Florida doesn't send theirs in on time, the Congress will send them a message, "Get your damn vote in here, pronto, dudes."
