A dimple on a chad clearly indicates that a stylus was not pushed thru the chad and that a force far less than the weight of a grapefruit was applied. Yes the weight of a grapefruit 8 ounces, was not applied to the stylus. SO let's say that a chad is 1/8 by 3/16 th. .125 times .1875 is .0234 square inches. 8 devide by .0234 is 341.333 ounces per square inch or 21 lbs per square inch. Any of you all hefted a 16 lb bowling ball lately How much force is required to dimple a precut chad. I say about an once at the point of the stylus or force on the stylus of .0234 ounces. This indicates an accident far more than intent. This also to me is proof positive THAT .... Any 75 year old who can lift an 8 ounce grapefruit should be able to punch a ballot and that is contrary to the Gore associate Liar and fabricator Senator Kerry old folks fairytale.
