Not good. You misunderstand Florida election law (which is similar to election law in all the other states), and the relationship between state and federal courts. You also oversimplify the issue of "standards" as such were developed during the course of the issue.
All elections have two phases, separated by certification. Gore got the FLorida Supreme court to move the statutory certification deadline. This shortened the amount of time available for court-supervised recounts (the post-certification period was shortened at Gore's demand). Reliable recount standards were developed in counties that used marker-style ballots. All of the contested ballots were punch-cards. (not counting the contests of absentee and military ballots, where the Gore team denied votes, "disenfranchised voters").
The US Supreme Court case is pretty short, and is not all that legalistic in its terms. I encourage you to read it to see how the 7-2 decision that the Florida Supreme Court was wrong, was reached.
The US SC final opinion is sloppy. It has, as I recall, six different opinion clusters generated by just nine Justices. (It's been three years since I read that decision, even though I participated in the case.) And it helps to draw a chart to keep track of which Justice supported which part of the decision. (One of the info babes misreported the outcome as a Gore win because she lost track of who wrote what.)
