No matter how you slice it, the numbers don’t add up.


Your choice.

Registered Voters 175554 - Cards Cast 247713 141.10%

The above nuber [247713] is the 2 ballot cast or counted number. So yes it is an odd number so someone or some number of voters chose not to vote the 2nd page.

That doesn’t seem unusual to me as I’ll fequently not vote down ballot races, amendments, bonds issues or whatever they maybe ...

You are trying to divide the actual hard vote numbers by 2 and that’s not the method. That number is a hard number for all the votes counted in that race whether the number be odd or even. That will be counted only one time for each ballot whether it be 2 pages or just one page submitted for that voter.

Take care and enjoy.

The undervotes listed here are people who didn’t vote on the president. What did they vote on then?

I don’t always vote for school board, etc but I have never in my life failed to turn in all the pages of the ballot as instructed by the poll worker. Those pages are hand-numbered in Nebraska so that both pages can be matched up for the sake of accountability. Why would I deliberately screw with that method of accountability? The statistics showing undervotes ended up being critical in the 2000 debacle in Florida so the need to account for all those pages should not be something the elections officials took lightly.

Have you ever failed to turn in all the pages you were given? Have you ever asked not to be given a page? How would you even know what was on which page until you got them all, in order to know which page to reject?

Where can I see what was on each card in St Lucie?
