At the moment, I'm thinking so. Check out this lead from Reuters on Secretary of State Hood placing Ralph Nader's name on the Florida ballot: "Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader's name can appear on Florida ballots for the election, despite a court order to the contrary, Florida's elections chief told officials on Monday in a move that could help President Bush in the key swing state."
Despite a court order to the contrary.
As is rather too frequently the case, the Republicans are looking like the party of order, but there are much less clearly the party of law - or at least less like the party of those who follow the law. And of course this isn't even the only questionable move the Florida Secretary of State's office has made this month. There's also this matter.
Anyway, you can read the whole story on Hood's actions regarding the Nader candidacy here.

I was like, "hey wait! she's got the crown, the wand, the poofy dress, not even bringing the munchkins into the equation..." and then I realized. Oh. "Hood." not "the Good." Phew.
