The issue in question was for the Congressional race in Florida's 13th District during last year's Midterm elections. All the major votes were on page one of the ballot, save for that race, which shower up at the VERY top of the second page, in smaller type than all the other races. It was very easy to miss, even if you were told to look for it prior to voting. What ended up happening was that 18,000 people who filled out everything else on the ballot did not vote in that race. This ballot problem only happened in the city in which, when votes *were* cast in the race, they leaned very heavily to the Democratic Candidate. The Republican candidate (Vern Buchanan) won by a margin of under 400 votes.
