701,469 votes were cast in the governor’s race in Broward.

Yet, just 676,706 votes were cast in the Senate race.

So? There were about 25,000 people who were willing to vote for Nelson and not Gillum.

So what?

Gillum was far, far left.

Nelson, not so obviously far left.

Nelson was an incumbent.

Gillum an outsider.

No blacks in the Senate race, so fewer blacks voted

There was also a green party candidate in the governor’s race and no third parties in the senate. Very convenient of the newspaper to leave that information out.

Use of the term "undervote" is abject stupidity. When I voted on Tuesday I left three blank spaces -- in local non-partisan races where I didn't know the candidates and didn't give a damn who won.

I'll explain the Broward County "undervote" for Nelson: A lot of black voters cast their votes for Gollum but wouldn't vote for an old white guy.

So blacks showed up and votes for the black candidate, Gillum, but didn’t bother voting for the elitist white guy who has been Senator for 2 decades. Sounds perfectly reasonable and feasible to me.
