I mean, is it possible for a box to fill up with chads?

It's not the box filling up that causes the problem. It's the area directly behind the hole in the punch card machine.

It's like when a hole punch gets jammed up and you have to take a pen and poke the old, jammed in pieces of paper out before it'll punch a clean hole.

They've seen this problem on punch-card machines before. It gets worse over time. In elections with fewer candidates, they've not used column 1 at all, to save wear and tear.

The one good thing to come of this is it may bring about and end to those old-tech punch card ballots. What county election commission is going to chance going through this again?
