PapyaKing, Your article says: The Miami/Dade voting machines were not stuffed with chad, so dimples were not caused by faulty machines. Your point is Which only proves that undervotes are simply that. Undervotes. NO presidential candidate selected May I respectfully say that your point does not follow from the article's point. The undervote is comprised of ballots that the machine could not read. Experience says that it is composed of some combination of the following: 1. Ballots with no ascertainable vote 2. Ballots with hanging chad votes 3. Ballots with 1 or 2 corner chad votes 4. Ballots with dimpled chads (votes or not, as you determine) 5. Ballots with ascertainable voter intent from a voter who did not follow instructions. For example, a voter might have written his vote on the ballot instead of punching it. The ONLY way to tell if a ballot falls into category 1,2,3,4 or 5 is to LOOK at it. This has never been done to 9,000 of Miami/Dade undervote ballots. They have been enumerated, but their content has never been counted. You cannot declare that there is no content simply because the machine could not read them.
