What is another word for swinging chad?
Pronunciation: [swˈɪŋɪŋ t͡ʃˈad] (IPA) 
The term "swinging chad" originated from the 2000 United States presidential election, when the poor perforation of paper ballots led to a recount in Florida. However, there are several synonyms for this term, including "dimpled chad" (slightly indented ballot punch that did not punch through), "pregnant chad" (a partially punched chad that is still attached to the ballot), and "hanging chad" (a chad that is attached to the paper by only one or two corners). These terms have become synonymous with any flawed or contested voting system or process, and are often used in discussions surrounding fair and accurate elections.
