The GOP doesn't have a problem with "substantial compliance" with the law, as far as I can see. I think what the GOP objects to is counting as votes tiny bumps on a ballot on or near a perforated spot, bumps you can't see without a magnifying glass or holding the ballot at an angle to the light and tilting it back and forth. That's not "substantial compliance" with punching out a chad. A chad that is partly torn off is a different matter. Depending on how much is torn off, it may well be an instance of "substantial compliance." The canvassing board in Palm Beach County, all Democrats, only found about 200 votes for Gore out of the almost 10,000 questionable ballots. I think that's commendable. If Broward County had used the same standard, doubtless they would have found far fewer votes for Gore.
