So you see a dimple in the ballot is necessary to determine intent but the chad MUST also be loose on two sides with light showing through it.

chomolungma,

Oh, I see what you are saying. You are saying it has to meet conditions #1, #2 AND #3...OR #4. Am I understanding you correctly now?

However, #3 says:
(3) an indentation on the chad from the stylus or other object is present and indicates a clearly ascertainable intent of the voter to vote

So, there could be an indentation without corners of the chad perforated.

?

I do know that there have been recounts in Texas* that decided the results based only on indented chads, so that leads me to believe the statute means #1 or #2 or, etc

* data already posted on thread
