Dear Mr Watson,

I did assume that the push operated an electric punch to eject the chad and that it may not have operated perfectly.

In any case it is obvious that some voters failed to press harder than the weight of an Indian River grapefruit.

>> The weight of a grapefruit, 8 onces would apply at a minimun of 25 pounds of stylus force to the preperferated area. <<
Anything weighing 8 ounces would apply a force of 8 ounces.
Surely you mean that an 8 ounce grapefruit would apply a pressure of 25 psi.?
Pressure being force over a specific area.
and "preperforated" is spelt like that.

We had an election here in Canada yesterday and they hand counted 12.5 million votes and had a winner announced, in time to go home for the 11 PM news.
No fuss, no muss and no accusations of hanky panky, because we use a non-partisan election organisation and not some silver-spoon, never worked a day in her life, politically appointed bimbo to supervise an election, where she is supporting one of the candidates.

So screw your chads, dear Watson.

>>Now explain again how a dimple is supposed to be a vote.<<
Sure I can explain that. The grapefruit had dried out.
Why do they use grapefruit to vote in Florida.??
