Frank, you keep arguing the merits of her decision, but that misses the point. You may be correct that she made the right decision, or you may not be. Ultimately the Florida Supreme Court will decide that. But no matter how hard you try to paint it that her hands were tied - that she had no discretionary authority - the circuit court disagreed with you. As soon as that became clear, she should have turned it over to someone with less of a stake in the outcome, especially on something as controversial as this. If the facts in the State Senate race are as you describe them, then I agree that the canvassing board was inconsistent. Either they were wrong then, or they are wrong now. Maybe the court will decide that too.
