10,000 ballots not punched all the way thru???

damn, this is news to me

horribly gray area
indicates some intention

if another prez choice punched thru, then halfpunch to be ignored
if no prez choice punched thru, THEN WHAT?

how can a judge decide that a person intended to vote for Gore,
as opposed to voting for nobody intentionally?

judges simply step back from creating new votes
absolutely zero historical precedent

given Gore already received the majority of votes in those disputed areas, a federal judge or state judge will be incredibly hesitant to create new Gore votes

tough luck, happens all the time
