Bush v. Gore II?

Dave Kopel makes a powerful case on NRO that New Jersey law will not allow replacing Torricelli’s name on the ballot. The Democrats obviously know this, and thus Governor McGreevey intends to ask the state supreme court to make an exception in this case because of “unusual circumstances.”

If the state supreme court complies with the Democrats’ request, would not the Republicans (the McGreevied party?) be in a position similar to that of the Bush campaign in Florida after the last election, when it successfully requested the federal courts, ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court, to intervene in order to reign in a runaway state court that was intent on ignoring state election law?
