Biographical history
Chads became controversial in the 2000 presidential elections. They are small pieces of paper that are punched out of ballots as voters record their selection at the voting machines. The irregularity of voting procedures in terms of counting chads became part of a protracted struggle between presidential candidates, Al Gore and George W. Bush.
