"The bad news is that "Gore's lawyers are at the moment eyeing Broward County, where there
are 4,000 ballots in Gore country where elderly voters did not press down
hard enough on the punches to record the vote -- but where a hand-recount
with magnifying glasses might be able to detect the indentation."

Believe it or not, there is a whole body of law dealing with this subject -- how to determine whether a partially punched selection counts as a vote. Where it it is a square punch place, it depends on whether two or three of the corners are detached from the card. It could end up with a judge looking at each card. More than you ever wanted to know about the finer details of the democratic process.
