After the SCOTUS laid down the law in Bush v. Gore

The problem is that the SCOTUS opinion in Bush v. Gore tried to avoid "laying down the law". I believe that the unsigned controlling opinion said something along the lines of "The arguments in this case do not necessarily apply to any other case". They had to do that, because the logical extension of their argument was that Equal Protection was violated wherever different counties used different voting systems in the same state.

Well, then the district court can apply the law laid down by the Eleventh Circuit in Roe v. Alabama, 43 F.3d 574 (11th Cir. 1995): changing the rules in mid-election violations constitutional equal protection.
