Dan oz, your simplistic argument that only cleanly punched chads should be counted is not as simple to implement as you suggest. The ballot counting machines actually count approximately half of all hanging chads (depending on whether the chad is hanging open or closed when it goes through the machine). Furthermore, a hanging chad can fall off, making sure the results of any machine re-count will not agree with earlier counts. Historically, a manual recount (using the intent of the voter) has been the only satisfactory way to decide close elections. How does a hanging chad come into being if the voter didn't push the voting stylus through the ballot? Bux
