Flawed ballot designs in Florida's 2018 Senate race disenfranchised thousands.
The article looks at how the design of ballots in Florida's 2018 Senate race affected voters. By analyzing data, the researchers found that Broward County's ballot design caused around 25,000 voters to skip voting in the Senate race. This issue mainly affected voters with less information about the candidates. Although the flawed ballot design didn't change the election's outcome, it raises concerns about voter trust. The researchers suggest making changes to how ballots are designed to prevent similar problems in the future.
