And, of course, the remedy is all that matters to the election. It doesn't affect Bush if the judge rules that election officials and/or others acted illegal as long as she doesn't invalidate ballots. I think it's going to be hard to invalidate 15,000 ballots when the voters did nothing wrong and only about 2,000 of the ballot applications were affected. To disenfranchise 15,000 (or 13,000 if you say that the 2,000 were not innocent because they should have known that their applications were incomplete and therefore invalid) innocent voters for the bad acts of others completely out of their control seems like a remedy it would be hard for even the FSC to stomach. Plus, if the legislature acts, the cases are moot anyhow.
