" Dimples and pregnant are pretty rare. This is a tough standard. That's why it's quite fair. Also you can see why none of this would matter in all but the
closest elections.

It's an unfortunate confluence of events that the election may depend on a county that had a large statistical anomaly of overvotes due to confusion on a
ballot and that that county used punch ballots."

It is indeed. However, it seems odd that we'd only check the ballots in contested counties for dimples as opposed to all counties. As rare as they are, I'm guessing that it would wind up being a 50/50 split.

SORRY to all who have continued to follow this thread. My feeling is the current woes of the market are directly related to the bizarre nature of the current election and therefore it is worthy of discussion on any stock thread....
