Definitely true, there is no objectivity in any human perception.

FL: if a few chads in punch box are pushed, maybe voter chose NOT to vote for that person

here is the danger
someone may have decided in the midst of pushing thru NOT to push the box thru

how can officials determine the intent of the voter?
how many people may have pushed partially thru, and intended not to vote for Gore?

here is the danger
it is subjectivity in creating a criterion for what a vote is

if this were written ballots with check marks, how much of a pencil stroke justifies a vote?
a millimeter portion of a check mark?

where does it end?
this is the essence of the street fight

the voting mechanisms are horribly flawed
seems we need someone to read back our vote, after submitted, in order to verify our own votes

but would morons, imbeciles, extreme aged, and otherwise mentally incompetent be CAPABLE of answering such verification question?
if not, their vote is shitcanned
