In the disputed race between Christine Jennings and Vern Buchanan --the two are separated by 369 votes in their claim to a seat in the US House of Representatives-- the "iVotronic" touchscreen machines at the precincts did not alert voters to undervotes, and did not ask if they wished to input a vote choice in a race that was not yet recorded.

Yet, that operation is at odds with specific printed instructions on the website of election supervisor Kathy Dent (R) that showed voters the sequence to expect in casting a vote on Sarasota County's iVotronic, sold by Election Systems & Software (ES&S).

18,000 voter records registered no vote for a congressional seat, 13% of voters [1 of 8] who walked into the booth, yet only 1.2% of Sarasota absentee (paper) ballots cast no vote in that race. >>  More people had a vote recorded for "Hospital Board southern district" than for the Jennings-Buchanan race to replace Katherine Harris.
