Analyzing precinct-by-precinct voting data in Broward County, Florida to examine patterns of undercounting (skipped votes on a ballot) in the 2018 Senate race.

A discrepancy in the number of votes cast for governor and senator in in Broward County raised questions about the ballot design there, where the placement of the Senate race on the ballot could have made it easy to overlook.
