al <If the Florida Supreme court, or anyone else for that matter, had set standards, other than the ones set in the statute they would have been equally reversed on appeal for "changing the rules" after the election.>

Excellent point. What bothers me is the futility of the USSCT's call for a uniform standard. Is it even possible to create a standard beyond clear voter intent at the county level when there are 6 (?) different tabulation schemes?

Perhaps a different standard for each type—punchcards, optical, fill-in, etc.—would qualify as equal protection? But, without a uniform ballot system for federal and statewide elections any thought of a standard is likely illusory.
