gavote

The data comes from the US presidential election in the state of
 Georgia. The undercount is the difference between the number of ballots cast and votes
recorded. Voters may have chosen not to vote for president, voted
for more than one candidate (disqualified) or the equipment may have failed to register
their choice.
