in additional recounts a certain number of chad will fail
The failure rate of a chad which has not been pushed at all by a stylus is very low. It is the hanging chad that gets brushed off during recounts. (Hanging chad is not a problem with cards made of solid stock and punched at a card punch desk barring malfunction of the card punch). It's these pre-perfed cards that are hand punched that get hanging chads, they are not prone to having chads just fall out, or get knocked out by a fingernail, or otherwise have the chad that was not at least partially torn by a stylus end up on the floor.
