The way I read it, the USSC said "Hey, you forgot to consider this part of the Constitution. And there is no way you could rule the way you did if you hadn't failed to consider that". The Florida Supreme Court cited 3 U. S. C. §§ 1– 10 in a footnote of its opinion, App. to Pet. for Cert. 32a, n. 55, but did not discuss §5. Since §5 contains a principle of federal law that would assure finality of the State’ s determination if made pursuant to a state law in effect before the election, a legislative wish to take advantage of the “safe harbor” would counsel against any construction of the Election Code that Congress might deem to be a change in the law.

Regardless, the certification did not occur until November 26th. Manual vote recounts taken prior to that date are still valid evidence in the election contest. Therefore, the decision has no impact on the contest.
