<Punch card readers under-represent the actual number of valid votes. If punch card readers are more likely to be found in democratic areas, then they produce a bias.

However, the general election and the Florida election both fall within the margin of error of the voting process. We have a statistical tie. One might as well toss a coin. >

It seems to me we have all become a little too cavalier when talking about margin of error. In an election this close, margin of error should not decide the next President of the United States.
