If the counting machines cannot count the votes due to hanging chads, it is because someone did not look over his or her ballot upon removing the card from the voting machine. If the voter punched more than one chad, he or she is the only one to blame. If the voter voted for the wrong candidate, that is solely the responsibility of the voter. I believe it is high time that we bring the responsibility for the vote back to the people. If the people mess up, train them for next time, but the vote stands.
Citizens vote, citizens mess up, and citizens are to blame.
