Sarasota County Re-vote Filing
EFF and a coalition of voting integrity groups, representing Sarasota
County voters, filed suit in state court in Tallahassee asking for a
re-vote in Florida's 13th congressional district. The suit alleges that
thousands of citizens were disenfranchised when massive under-votes
plagued the tight congressional race between Democrat Christine Jennings
and Republican Vern Buchanan. In a high-profile battle over former Rep.
Katherine Harris' seat, the result was decided by 363 votes, yet over
18,000 ballots cast on Sarasota County's e-voting machines registered no
vote in the race, an exceptional anomaly in the State.
