"Then those would not be undervotes in the first place. The machine would detect light with such a clear hole and tabulate the vote." PRECISELY! And then a recount would consist of running the ballots through the counter again- -which was done- -and you're done! But not according to Mr. Gore. He wants determination of "voter intent"! Bring in the ouija boards! Look, in the tech world, this is the equivalent of RTFM- -Read The F**king Manual. It says to remove the chads. No removal, no vote. Simple. If you're stupid, illiterate, or careless, you don't vote. Sounds good to me.

"A ballot with a partially punched hole - hole punched but still partially hanging - may not be read by the machine but is still an obvious indication that the selection was made. This is NOT rocket science! " good thing it isn't Ellen - as you have proven yourself not to be a rocket scientist. The USSC, even the liberal wing, just skewered Boies on the lack of standards and noted their concern that this was a broad violation of the equal protection act
