What is a hanging Chad?

824 views

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 in the show, they would make fun of Ted for wearing an outdated costume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!

I don’t know what to tell you. Even if you just went to the first google result, which was the wikipedia entry, it would have explained the 2000 US Presidential Election.

So did you just read the blurb under the first google result and decide that was enough research for the day?
