Not the way it would have played out. The US constitution specifically states that elections are a state issue. There would have been a state wide recount, as ordered by the Florida SC. Not true. Katherine Harris, state Attorney General, had already certified the votes. She would have sent one slate of electors. The Federal Supreme Court would have gone they way they did and would have possibly sent a different slate of electors. (In fact all major papers including Miami Herald say that actually these would have been the same as the first, but for the sake of argument assume they are different). Both would have gone to congress. The Republican Congress would have selected the Harris slate.
