More Florida-related scholarship Steven J. Mulroy has published Substantial Noncompliance and Reasonable Doubt: How the Florida Courts Got it Wrong in Butterfly Ballot Case, 14.1 Stanford Law & Policy Review 203 (2003). Examining the Florida law and the facts in the butterfly ballot case, it concludes that the plaintiffs had a valid claim under Florida law, entitling them to some form of remedy, including a revote. Mulroy had previously argued that a revote was not barred by federal law in an article at 10 Geo. Mason L. Rev. 215 (2001).
