The 7-2 part of the ruling was correct in that the recount did violate the Equal Protection Clause.

The 5-4 part of the ruling is a tough sell, because the determination of what to do with Florida's electors should have been up to Congress and not SCOTUS.

In SCOTUS' defense though, allowing the election debacle to drag on into January would have further hampered the incoming administration's ability to govern.
