"Stones Unturned: Gaps in the Investigation of Sarasota's Disputed Congressional Election"

Dan S. Wallach and David L. Dill wrote short article, "Stones Unturned: Gaps in the Investigation of Sarasota's Disputed Congressional Election," that discusses the 18,000 vote undercount the November, 2006 election. The executive summary states:

In total, the State's investigations have provided no persuasive explanation for Sarasota's undervotes. We recommend additional testing and analysis of both the software and hardware used in Sarasota. We also recommend analysis of ES&S's internal documents, including their bug tracking system and other versions (earlier and later) of their software. We estimate that this additional investigation could be conducted by an appropriate team of experts with about a month of work.
