GAO Report on Sarasota Lost Votes 'Fatally Flawed,' According to Researchers
"Fatally flawed, incomplete, and factually incorrect" was how Florida Fair Elections Center (FFEC) characterized a new U.S. Government Accountability Office's report on the uncounted votes in Sarasota's 2006 Congressional race. The GAO report, which was presented Friday to the U.S. House of Representatives task force looking into the contested election, concluded that its most recent testing increased assurance that the voting system did not cause the loss of nearly 18,000 votes in the narrowly divided race. "Our year-long investigation into the CD-13 race contradicts the GAO's findings. The GAO ignored serious, documented voting system failures that indisputably contributed to the high undervotes in the CD-13 race," said Susan Pynchon, FFEC executive director. "Our two reports, Sarasota's Vanished Votes and Lost Votes in Florida in the November 2006 Election may be viewed on line at www.FloridaFairElections.org." 2008-02-16
