Ah. I think the thing that confused me, was the part in the law where it stated something like the person who didn't comply had to be removed from the ballot. With the automatic resignation, I guess it would not be possible to actually not comply then and that looks like a useless phrase that could cause some confusion.

Well, that and the timing of the ruling. (I kind of digressed there)

It doesn't say "had to be removed from the ballot"- it says "MAY be removed by a circuit judge".
Judicial oversight is in case of fraud or collusion- not useless or confusing at all. Just not applicable to Katherine Harris.
