4. FL: Human Error Blamed in Vote Test


Human Error Blamed in Vote Test

TALLAHASSEE - Two variations in the final test of touch-screen voting machines used in a contested congressional race were blamed on human error, state officials said Tuesday.

That finding concluded the tests, said Secretary of State Sue Cobb. Election officials previously had announced the testing failed to turn up any evidence the machines used in Sarasota County had malfunctioned.

Democrat Christine Jennings is contesting the official results that gave Republican Vern Buchanan a 369-vote victory in the 13th District. Rep. Katherine Harris, R-Longboat Key, is giving up the seat after losing a U.S. Senate race.

Jennings contends the machines malfunctioned, depriving her of the victory.
