Raw data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections is
available at
their website.
GOVERNOR
This first table is the overall undervote information for this contest. The columns are:
- Year of election
- The number of state-wide votes counted in this contest.
- The number of voters who voted this particular year.
- The state-wide undervote rate.
- The average undervote rate of the counties.
- The standard deviation of the undervote rate of each
county. If smaller the number, the more consistent the counties are
with each other. A larger number shows that some counties did well,
whereas others did much worse.
- Number of counties with available and correct data (i.e.,
non-negative undervote rates (a negative undervote rate indicates more
votes cast than the number of voters who went to the polls).

| 2004 | 3264117 | 3338193 | 2.22 |

These next two tables break the undervote information down
by technology. We have one table for each year. The columns have
exactly the same meaning as in the first table. This allows us to see
if any technology tended to out-perform any other technology in that
year.

This table shows how the undervote rate changes over time
as a factor of voting technology. For example, if a county used punch
cards in 2000, but optical scan machines in 2004, their undervote data
would contribute to the "punch card" row and "optical scan"
column. If another county used DRE machines in 2000 and again in 2004,
their undervote data would contribute to the "DRE" row and "DRE"
column.
The "state-wide" technology entry shows how the
undervote rate of the state as a whole changed between the 2000 and 2004
election.
A negative average change means that the undervote rate
declined, whereas a positive value means that the undervote rate (for
whatever reason) increased. We observe that the state-wide undervote
rate decreased in all races from 2000 to 2004; we hypothesize that two
factors contributed to this:
- Greater training and focus on the part of all election
officials. No one wanted to be "the next Florida", and therefore
spent a lot of time making sure that everything was in place and
everyone was trained.
- Greater familiarity with the voting technology in place.
Only five counties switched from one technology to another, meaning that
the election officials were more likely to understand the best practices
associated with their voting technology.
