Another idiot identification event cue for you Watless.

Handful: A small quantity or number.

In this case you have to be able to read in the context, ie 8 out of 100 voters is all it takes to trigger the Recall. Less than 1 out of 10. That's a small number relative to the whole.

Often the word Handful is used to describe a number of people. As in "Only a handful of folks know the words to this song". Any idiot knows that not even one person will fit in a hand. I guess that makes you an idiot, hence another idiot identification cue.

It's a colloquialism, Just like when I say "you're full of shit". You're not really full of "shit", though there are probably at least a handful of people on SI that might beg to differ with me on that one.

Get your head out of it's hole.
