I understand your point but I disagree with it. You assume that if Florida's Electors to the Electoral College are not determined in a timely manner, then they will be disqualified. I believe it is quite clear, according to the Constitution, that the selection of the president by the entire Electoral College, including Florida's Electors, will be on hold until the controversy in Florida is resolved. Florida has a constitutional right to have its Electors vote for the President. If you are right, then anyone can file a lawsuit and keep a state's Electors from voting, and pick the states they want to disqualify. For example, Bush could sue California and New York, and then those Electors could not vote. Each of them could sue the states they didn't win in and no Electors could vote. That's not the way it works.
