The Republicans keep arguing that it takes very little pressure to push the
chad through, and therefore we shouldn't count pregnant or dimpled chads.

But if it is true (that it does in fact take very little pressure to push the chad through),
then dimpled or pregnant chads are very strong evidence of two things:

1) The voter pushed hard enough on the ballot to dimple it; and
2) Something blocked his efforts, otherwise the chad would have simply fallen through.

I would argue that the ONLY way to make a chad pregnant or dimpled is if
something hard is behind it, blocking the voter, so that when pressure is
applied to the chad it will NOT poke through.

Anyone who argues otherwise, such as the GOP, ought to be asked to make a
dimple in the chad WITHOUT putting something behind it, blocking it from
being registered as a vote.

They couldn't do it, because IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

So, dimpled or pregnant chads are not hard to figure.  They are votes.
