I dispute that he would've won under "most." There are certainly some, all of them quite liberal (and IMO, unreasonable), where he could have won. And as you point out, none of them requested by him. (If only he knew the result ahead of time, he'd have known how to game the system!)

But that's all really a side point. The problem I have is the term "decide." The Supreme Court did not "decide" the election. It gives the impression that the votes of 100 million Americans were voided, and 9 people got together and just picked the President.

That is a lie.
