As a matter of law, Bush's case required five votes to grant cert., according to today's Washinton Post:

The Nixon case, like the Florida case, arrived at the high court through a request for an expedited hearing that would leapfrog the U.S. Court of Appeals. Court rules require that five justices--one more than the normal four--must vote to take a case on an expedited basis.

I preferred this part of the article. (i see you chose to ignore, will this override the Republican legislature in FL if they try to pull a fast one?)
'One section of the law--a passage not
quoted by Bush's lawyers--says that if a state
provides "judicial or other methods" for
resolving election disputes, those procedures
"shall be conclusive."'
