35. Unlikely caused by simple ballot design; see the previous post
No one has explained the "disappearing votes" reported by voters.
That are similar to the reports in many other races in 2006 and 2004,
S.Florida in both 2004 and 2006
Mahoning Co. Ohio in 2004 and others
other places in 2006

Its fairly clear that this was due to programming, there was clear pattern of disappearing votes for certain machines,
not voter error(some called poll workers who had similar problem), and not due to random miscalibration.
An audit of the machines with high undervotes would have almost certainly determined what caused the problem.
It still hasn't been done.

Rather they are basing decisions on spin and speculation.
