Under 102.168, the grounds for contesting an election are:

a) Misconduct, fraud, corruption sufficient to place in doubt the result of the election [not present, Sauls found];

b) Ineligibility of the candidate [not alleged];

c) Receipt of illegal votes or rejection of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election [not proved, Sauls found];

d) Proof that an elector, election official or canvassing board was bribed [not alleged];

e) Any other cause or allegation which, if sustained, would show that a person other than the successful candidate won the election.

Sauls found that the Plaintiff did not meet the burden of proving one of a) through e), so fashioning the appropriate remedy wasn't even triggered.

Gore argued that the only way to prove that he met the burden of proof was to count the ballots. Judge Sauls did not agree.
