There was a significant drop-off in votes between the election for governor, which counted 3,939,409 votes, to the lieutenant governor election, with 3,780,304 votes. The undervote, larger than that seen in other statewide races, was found by the Coalition for Good Governance to have occurred in predominantly African American neighborhoods, but only with touchscreen voting machines, not absentee ballots. The change in votes was statistically significant compared to the typical smaller undervote in white areas. [54] [55]
