From Flagler County

The unofficial elections summary report generated by Weeks’ office shows that of 69,592 registered voters in Flagler County,100,660 cards were cast.

However, dividing the number of cards cast by the two pages that comprised the ballot won’t give an accurate figure for how many people voted, Weeks said. Many people didn’t vote on the second page of the ballot, so the Elections Office can’t discern how many individuals cast ballots, she said.

Ballots in this election were two pages because amendments to Florida’s constitution were printed on them in full, rather than in the brief summaries that have appeared in the past.

Presumably this two page ballot was used everywhere in Florida and maybe other states as well.

No need to thank me.
