Both the senatorial race and the gubernatorial race in 1998 were in the first row - yet the statistician said that they had different undervote rates which he attributed to the fact that they were on different rows, which supports the demographer's theories about the extra wear and tear on the machine's first row. My recollection is that he said that the difference in undervotes between the first two races in 2000 was statistically similar to the difference between the first row and other rows in the 2000 race.

Since the senatorial and gubernatorial races in 1998 were NOT on different rows, what explains the difference in undervotes? It has to be something he didn't consider.
