Re: Bush v. Gore, I remembered it differently so I checked it out.
Back then, In Florida, a statewide machine recount was automatic as the vote margin was within .5%
Florida law also allowed a candidate to request a manual hand recount by county.
Gore requested that hand recount of 4 counties.
Florida Supreme Court ordered a state-wide recount of undervotes in Gore v Harris. That was not in the law and it triggered Gore v. Bush.
wiki gives a halfway decent explanation of Bush v Gore
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_v._Gore
Note Scalia’s opinion.
and that was only 1 state. Today we’re juggling at least 4 and we haven’t even gotten our foot in the door.
and as in the case of Bush v. Gore...we are running out of time.

OK, I was close enough and the point was the same. The state law provided for one kind of recount, the State Supreme Court ordered another kind, and the US Supreme Court shut that down because it would change state law.
