Wouldn't be a real hoot if Broward and Palm could not finish the count on time. The Florida Supreme court steps in and create a situation that pisses everyone off and because the court is all lawyer and no engineers they don't have a clue that the deadline the set is a no way. Funny beyond belief. But the whole thing is based on a can of worms of liberal thinking anyway. (b) Pre-Scored Punch Card: These ballots (popularized by CES in the U.S.) may be similar to the mark-sense cards, with the only difference being that the voter punches out a pre-scored hole in the card rather than marking it with a pencil. The primary problem with these ballots is the question of how to count cards improper punches ("The punched-out scraps have come to be called _chad_ ... Sometimes, a chad does not break completely free from the card and becomes a _hanging chad_, and sometimes voting-holes are merely indented by the voter's stylus."[20]). Even when examined manually it may be difficult to interpret the voter's intentions, and the chad present on a card may actually change between count and recount. "The inexact science of divining what the voter intended ... has been called _chadology_."[21 Tom Watson tosiwmee
