"Hanging Chad" became popularized from the 2000 presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore.
A "chad" is the fragments of paper left over when you punch a hole in a card. Voters in Florida at the time used Votomatic style punched card ballots. So a "hanging chad" is when you punch a hole in the card, and it doesn't punch the whole way leaving a little piece dangling. A "pregnant chad" is when you attempt to punch a hole, but it just leaves a bulge and doesn't actually punch through.
The controversy came about when "hanging chads" and "pregnant chads" weren't counted by the machine. People's votes weren't counted.
Imagine if you take those tests where you have to fill out the circle completely with a number 2 pencil. But you didn't totally fill the circle out and your answer was marked wrong.

I tried to vote for my favorite guy, but it wasn't counted because I didn't punch the card the whole way through. I left a hanging chad.

Get the Chaitanya mug.The name of a sport/method of pest control which has not become legal due to "human right" howevcer we must ask ourselves if this affliction of normal society is actually human and not some kind of plague, or the damned returning from the pits of hell. The game entails the extermination of as many chavs as possible within one's lifetime. Any method of elimination is allowed within the confines of the game ranging from tactical nuclear strikes and shot gun kills at close range to bludgeoning to death with another chav.
Start a petition now with your local council, 'legalise chav hunting' push the point that they could be used to test new military weapons on and to replace animals in animal testing labs, they could even be burned as an alternative fuel source.
