Thousands of Palm Beach County voters left parts of their ballots blank in the Nov. 3 election, a phenomenon known as an undervote. The outcomes of several key local races could have been different if these undervotes had been cast for a candidate. In one state House race, the number of undervotes was greater than the margin of victory. A state lawmaker who grabbed national attention lost reelection on Tuesday could have won, a Palm Beach County Commission race could have been reversed and the government of a large community could have been different if thousands of voters filled in their ballots in those races instead of leaving them blank on Nov. 3. Elections officials call it undervoting, when someone votes but does not make a choice in an individual race on their ballot.
