Nelson v. Robinson, 301 So.2d 508, Fla. Ct. App. 2d Dist., 1974, as quoted by <a href=http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel110900.shtml target=new>http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel110900.shtml</a> "Keeping in mind that we are talking about a claim made after an election, and not one which may have been enforceable before, if a candidate appears on the ballot in such a position that he can be found by the voters upon a responsible study of the ballot, then such voters have been afforded a full, free and open opportunity to make their choice for or against that particular candidate; and the candidate himself has no constitutional right to a particular spot on the ballot which might make the voters' choice easier. His constitutional rights in the matter end when his name is placed on the ballot. Thereafter, the right is in the voters to have a fair and reasonable opportunity to find it; and as to this, it has been observed that the constitution intended that a voter search for the name of the candidate of his choice and to express his of the candidate of his choice without regard to others on the ballot. Furthermore, it assumes his ability to read and his intelligence to indicate his choice with the degree of care commensurate with the solemnity of the occasion." Based on how I read this, I do think people who screwed up their ballots showed that degree of care.
