In at least one state, Massachusetts, the state high court has said dimpled ballots do indicate voter intent, said
Art Wolf, a law professor at Western New England College in Springfield, Mass., and a former U.S. Justice
Department (news - web sites) elections lawyer. But since that ruling, the state has gotten rid of all punch card
ballots, making the ruling moot there.

In Bush's state of Texas, rules that predate his term as governor allow county officials - but don't require them -
to count dimpled chads as an indication of a voter's intent, and therefore count the ballot.
