I still hear the democrats saying you have to count the dimples. After hearing that the burst force to remove a chad is 1.76 to 12 ounces, the weight of your hand, they still insist that a dimple is intent. the diameter of the stylus is .05 inches This means that a 1lb force creates a pressure of 127 psi on the card. The testimony of John Arm.....? on the record is a clear technical discussion. I believe that other elements of forensic proof like the existence of voting machine rubber residue on a dimple and clear stylus impression can show that dimple was caused by stylus. If impression is clearly in the center of the dimple then all suggestion that a mechanical problem caused dimple as opposed to indecision is removed. I believe that Florida law will codify objective per se rules of determining chad intent as is the right of the Legislature. Tom Watson tosiwmee
