I think Chad has finally been exposed. The punchcard machines are a tool of the majority party in each state. I wonder if the minority parties will ever be allowed to get rid of these antiquated voting machines. From the Miami Herald, 12.3.00 : << The overall rejection rate for the 43 counties using optical systems was 1.4 percent. The overall rejection rate for the 24 punch-card counties was 3.9 percent. That means that voters in punch-card counties, which included urban Democratic strongholds such as Broward and Palm Beach counties, were nearly three times as likely to have their ballots rejected as those in optical counties. >> Tom D
