Pullen v. Mulligan
Illinois Supreme Court case / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pullen v. Mulligan, 561 N.E.2d 585 (Ill. 1990), was an Illinois Supreme Court case concerning a March 1990 election recount. At one point decided by a coin toss, the race and recount gained national attention over the issue of abortion.[1][2] The case was later cited by Vice President Al Gore's legal team during the 2000 Florida recount as precedent for counting "dimpled chads."[3]
