swinging chad
A "swinging chad" is a term that came into use during the 2000 United States presidential election. It refers to a chad (tiny piece of paper created when holes are punched in cards or similar materials) that is partially punched out and still attached on one corner to the voting ballot, causing it to swing. The presence of such chads may make it unclear which option the voter intended to choose, leading to controversies in determining the outcome of the vote.
