I’m pretty sure that there are no ballots that use the “poke-out-a-chad” technique. But I’m quite sure that the GOP will be doing whatever it can (including at least some things that are illegal, immoral or fattening) to get the result they want so desperately that they’re willing to go to those lengths. And I’m pretty sure that Amy C’s Master will cause her to vote to uphold the GOP side of whatever comes before the Supremes. Kavanaugh too.
Yes, Democrats are haunted by the ghost of 2000 but the new ghost on the block, 2016, is even scarier, and the haunting is being done by many of the same players (Putin, Trump, Republicans trying to suppress voters).
Every time we let in a vicious lying greedy racist republican president who lost the popular vote the country gets smashed in the face and we lose our reputation.
And you KNOW that the cheating Republicans will try to use THIS excuse to rig the election JUST LIKE they did in 2000…when Gore WON Florida and the Popular vote nationwide.
If the ‘hanging chads’ had all been missing and the ballot looked like Swiss Cheese . . . the Supreme Court would still have declared “Dubya” dummy Bush the winner.
The ghost of 2000 has led to the zombie which has afflicted us ever since, voting machines and tabulators, most of which are intentionally hackable, and which probably come to the election boards pre-hacked.
Al Gore had approx 500k more votes in nationwide popular vote, albeit SCOTUS forced stop to counting. Imagine from POV of climate crisis where we’d be today worldwide(20yrs later) if VPGore had taken duly won POTUS position? Certainly in sustainability, carbon neutrality, it’s hard to imagine the possible position of being just ”ahead of global warming threats” instead of 30+years behind & hoping to catch up, hoping to learn to adapt to immanent threats, etc….instead of what could have been. Electoral College time to go Bye Bye.

That’s the ghost of Chad. He was hung.

The ‘Chads’ hanging this year have more to do with their association with Karens.

Would today’s equivalent be the BSOD or some type of malware in the voting machines?

One thing Republicans are very good at is being CROOKS.

The most basic function of any democracy, bungled. It’s like the current administration doesn’t care about democracy, except to hobble it.

Worse . . . Bush didn’t steal the election thru the ballot count, he stole the election thru Florida’s absentee ballots
