The courts can't make rules, they can just perceive what was there. So it's either election validated, or not validated yet, meaning the office wouldn't hand over power. Congress would have to write an amendment for that to happen (2/3rds vote, which neither party holds)

SCOTUS ruled on a case of something that didn’t even happen, just a “what if”. They absolutely can make shit up and rule on hypotheticals.
