Carl, if indeed those chads can be loosened up by handling, I doubt that only "democratic chads" are affected by such handling. My guess would be that those chads on the floor were prepunched and simply electrostatically attached to the cards post punching during the elections and fell when inspected. If a chad was not prepressed during the election process to incompletion, I doubt that handling would loosened these out, and certainly doubt that such handling will affect only "democratic chads". However, politicians will paint these trivia as conspiracies as long as it fits their own scenario. By the way, each ballot has hundreds of chads, and if your theory about "weakly attached" chads to the punch cards hold, then I would submit that if those chads were not electrostatically attached, but released in the handling process, that they all come from just few punch cards in which all the chads were systematically weaker. I can see an entrepreneuring young student writing a doctorate thesis on the various methods of chad releases from punch cards ballots. (g). Zeev
