Here are a couple more articles from the St. Petersberg Times on the congressional race in Sarasota, Fla., where GOP candidate Vern Buchanan has narrowly beaten Democrat Christine Jennings in every count and recount in the race.

First is this Associated Press piece which reveals that the voting machines didn't have any problems.

I love this from Democrat Jennings attorney.

Jennings' attorney Kendall Coffey took issue with the auditing process, contending that the audit by state elections volunteers doesn't replicate actual voter behavior and removes the "human dynamic," such as different ways voters touch the computer screens to record votes.

The different ways voters touch the computer screens? I'm not sure I would want to know exactly what some of the different ways voters "touch" the computer screens.

Then there's this piece by the St. Petersberg Times political editor Adam Smith.

SARASOTA - Something strange happened in Sarasota County when one in eight voters - more than 18,000 people - skipped a high-profile, neck-and-neck congressional race.

But what was it?

- Ina Arnell says it took three tries before an uncooperative touch screen voting machine would accept her vote for Democratic candidate Christine Jennings of Sarasota. She wonders how many other voters went away wrongly assuming their choices had been recorded.

- John Browning saw that his voting machine's final review screen showed he missed the Congressional District 13 race, just as he intended. The Sarasota retiree said he was so turned off by the candidates and their nasty campaigns that for the first time ever he chose not to vote in a high-profile race.

- Then there was Susan Gaar, a poll worker who on Election Day heard voter after voter complain about not finding the congressional race tucked at the top of their second ballot page. She can't understand how such a badly designed ballot was approved in the first place.

What does this tell us? There's lots of guessing and no solid evidence that anyone was disenfranchised. There's certainly nothing that would warrant the Democrats in Congress seating Jennings instead of Buchanon.
