A Gal on the tube the other day from an election commission down there, speaking just after the SC stopped the counting, said a good way to solve the problem with chads would be to run the cards through the machines until the machine count stabilized- I believe she said about four or five times. You see, the chads fall off with repeated handling, etc. She said this phenomenon was well recognized, and if I remember correctly, she called this the "law of diminishing chad." Information from counting machine manufacturers indicate that without hanging or detached floating chads gumming up the works, the machines are virtually error free. It's easy to imagine loose chads falling off innocently during hand-counting, I MUST say. Dan B
