In FL, vote tallies didn't end at midnight.

Recounts were ordered.

The legal challenges were over the extending the deadlines for County level recounts.

The legal challenges were against Republican officials who were opposed to continuing the recounts.

There were intervening local Court cases and rulings before the SC got involved.
