the problem is, the ballot was shit.

Do you count a ballot because the push pin made contact with the paper but didn't penetrate?

Do you look and say "Well they voted straight R ticket... why would they vote for a D President?

Ballots should be absolute.

And Gore should have asked for a statewide recount.
