The main issue punch card "undervotes" is the boxes that were supposed to collect the chads had probably never been emptied... They were so chock full of chads at the time... That many voters could not fully punch through the card.

At least that's what I remember reading at the time.

UPON EDIT... The error rate was not for switch votes, or incorrect votes... I believe 10% was the undervote error... Those that registered no vote by the counting machines.
