David Dill, a Stanford University computer science professor and critic of electronic voting, compared the state audit of Florida&#8217;s 13th Congressional District race to a plane crash in which investigators comb through specific sections of wreckage and ignore other key areas. &#8220;I think the investigation is incomplete.
