I have regularly cast ballots with blanks for some of the offices, including US President,when I disapprove of all of the listed candidates, and had no decent choice to offer as a write-in. Perhaps it is simply the case that roughly 18 thousand voters in Florida have similar voting habits?

I wonder how the voting system in Florida would distinguish between a voter like me and a system glitch (or some sinister manipulation of the system)?

This one county seems to have a higher blank rate than the others which makes it a little suspecious I guess..... They are going to test 10 of the machines, five that were standby and five that were actually used.

The state test is aimed at finding out why no votes were recorded in the congressional race on about 18,000 ballots cast in Sarasota County. That resulted in an undervote rate about six times greater than in the district's other four counties.
