- Copy of a 2000 Presidential Election Ballot for Palm Beach County, Florida - Paper "butterfly ballots" are pierced with a "punch needle"--reminiscent of computer punch cards. Leftover confetti fragments of the punched paper are called "chads." If ballots are not fully punched, partially attached "hanging chads" invalidate the vote. During the 2000 Presidential election, this infamous system caused confusion among voters in Palm Beach County, Florida, forcing a recount of spoiled ballots.
