Similar ballots were treated differently by different counties. This creates an Equal Protection violation that fatally taints any result that includes these ballots.

There's the money quote.....

Let’s not trouble ourselves...... “equal protection” under law does not apply to Republicans, not even to RINOs like Coleman, or to those who vote for Republicans.

If the Democrats cared about EP under these circumstances the outcome would have been different.

Correct, and there is precedence ("settled law"?) from Bush v. Gore upholding a 14th Amendment Equal Protection claim in state election recounts.

Exactly. The Supreme Court has already ruled on this in Bush v. Gore, 2000. The vote then was 7-2.
