I first heard this term in How I Met Your Mother when Ted dressed up as a hanging Chad for Halloween. I tried to look it up & Google basically just said that it was a voting ballot that people used to punch holes out of. But I feel like I’m missing something.. in the show, they would make fun of Ted for wearing an outdated costume
& would tell him that “the hanging Chad reference
Is very old” & that most people wouldn’t understand it. Which signifies some sort of inside joke or understanding, but I don’t get it. please! Thank you!

Hanging chads are the reason we ended up with Bush (An Oilman) instead of Gore (An Inconvenient Truth), and continued burning fossil fuels instead of having leadership and a sensible plan to avert the worst of climate change.
