If this question is to be viewed as an attack on Calvinism, then it really must be viewed an an attack on #basic Theism. It is, of course, a hypothetical question. Sometimes the "What if" question is an evidence that the questioner has run out of decent questions.
The simple (and honest) answer from this Theist is that Adam did freely chose to sin and by doing so, as our Federal Head, plunged the entire human race into sin and consequent ruin. If any were to be saved, then God must show mercy and He shows mercy according to His sovereign will, and whom He will, He justly hardens. Thus far Romans 9.
Had Adam not have sinned and the human race not have fallen in Him, then electing some unto salvation while justly leaving others simply would not have become an issue. Whatever God does, He does in absolute wisdom. He knows all things and indeed ordains whatsoever comes to pass, yet without doing any violence to the will of the creature. #BasicStuff
