OT Election: Peter, I think the only valid standard is to have the chad punched completely out of the ballot. Machine error or not, it was made clear (with signs throughout the polling places)that it is the responsibility of the voter to insure that his/her ballot clearly indicates a choice. The signs in the polling places told voters to make sure no "hanging chads" or failed punches were on their ballots when they submitted them, and if they had a problem, they could ask for assistance or get a new ballot.

Any more liberal standard to this at best invites tampering and corruption and at worst denies a voter their right to not pick a candidate for president by divining a choice from a scratch on the ballot.

Regards,
Dan
