The proof of God's goodness is not found in Election. The proof of God's goodness is the cross. God sent his son to suffer and die for sinners. That is all the proof we can ever need to prove God's goodness.
The cross also proves God's justice. However, to try and use any doctrine, to disprove God's justice, we would have to understand a system of justice that is above man's and God's. How can we put ourselves above the eternal judge in order to judge whether He is just? It's a logical impossibility.
All we prove in questioning God's justice is that we are arrogant child-gods and that we deserve his wrath unless he interrupts our willful arrogance and grants us repentance.
No man is condemned by the quantity of his sin but by the quality of God's holiness; no man is saved by the quantity of his own goodness but by the quality of God's mercy.
