- What is "chad"? Why is is sometimes "hanging chad" or "dimpled/pregnant chad"? .
- What causes "hanging chad" or "dimpled chad"? .
- What is "chad"? Why is is sometimes "hanging chad" or "dimpled/pregnant chad"? Chad is the small piece that is separated from a sheet of cardboard or paper when a hole is punched in the sheet. Usually, chad is partially perforated, so that a puncture will create a hole in a very specific location and the surrounding paper is not torn. ...
- If, the chad is only partly separated when the sheet is punctured, it is called "hanging chad. " For example, the puncture severs the perforations on three sides of a square chad, but leaves the fourth side attached to the sheet. ...
- A "dimpled chad" or "pregnant chad" shows signs of having been punched, but it is not even partially separated from the sheet. ...
- If a chad is incompletely separated from the ballot, it may be pushed back into the hole when the ballot goes through the counting machine, and so no vote is detected even though the ballot was punched. If the chad is only dimpled, there is no hole for the machine to detect, even though the human eye can clearly see the result of punching the ballot. ...
- What causes "hanging chad" or "dimpled chad"? If a chad is not punched hard enough, it is only partly separated from the sheet, or the perforations are not separated at all. Not punching hard enough, however, is only one of several reasons why a chad is dimpled or left hanging instead of being completely separated. Problems with the voting machine can also result in hanging or dimpled chad instead of a clean hole. ...
- As holes are punched in ballots, the chad falls into a catch tray underneath the voting surface. Because different numbers of votes are always cast for different candidates, the chad does not fill the reservoir evenly; they may pile up higher under the holes for candidates who get a lot of votes than under holes for other candidates. If the reservoir is not emptied frequently enough, the piles of chad may stop the punch from penetrating the ballot enough to create a clean hole. ...
- at least two corners of the chad are detached; .

- The Illinois matter is neither the dimpled chad-bashing precedent that the Bushies would have you believe, but nor is it the acceptance of all things dimpled as the Gore camp would have it. ...
- The issue of which chad to accept is of paramount importance for both campaigns since the margin of Bush's lead is so slim -- 930 votes as of Wednesday morning -- a more liberal interpretation of chad could mean the difference in the election. Thus, both camps have been arguing for and against broad chad rulings in the court of public opinion. ...

- Chad began as a collective noun, like chaff and wheat. An individual punching from paper or cardstock is a piece of chad, as with a grain of wheat or a flake of chaff. Only in the context of Votomatic voting devices has CHAD come to be used as a singular noun, with the plural form CHADS. Historical usage within IBM appears to have favored CHIPS as the term for punchings for punched cards, but it seems that paper-tape machines, particularly teletypes, have had chad boxes (to catch the chad under the paper tape punch mechanism) for years, although in the 1920's, the term used in that domain was punchings. By the 1960's, the term chad was widely used to describe the chips from keypunches, and every keypunch had a chad box. ...
- The theory that chad is a back formation from the surname Chadless almost certainly began as a joke, as did the theory that the name is an acronym for "card hole aggregate debris". There was indeed a chadless paper tape punch, it was designed so that the chad remained attached to the tape, an example of what later came to be called hanging chad, although in this case, it was deliberate and did not cause read errors. ...
- There was never a chadless keypunch! The classic IBM punched card readers of the first half of the 20th century were prone to jams, and a piece of hanging chad, particularly one firmly hinged at one end, would have almost certainly guaranteed a jam. Only with the advent of the vacuum pick, as most fully developed in the Documation card reader in the early 1970's, did hanging chad become something that would not jam the reader and might even survive a trip through the mechanism. ...
