So now a federal appeals court has ruled. (not to mention the highly democrat infested Florida state supreme court). Is this at all binding on other states? Is it binding if the state election board issues the ruling?

They overruled a lower federal court (which had a Clinton appointee BTW). This matches the rulings made in other federal appeals courts, so yes I think there are now two precedents for it. This is a big win for State election laws. The new Federal voting laws of 2002 in response to Florida have proven to be bad IMHO because they've opened up a pandoras box of potential election fraud, just like McCain-Feingold is being exploited. We are much better off with the Federal government (Congress) getting the **** out of the States business and out of the way of political free speech.

Quite honestly, I can't think of any constitutional argument why people couldn't vote for president is several states, if the satate laws allowed it.
