Just recieved this in my email:
Dear Friends,
At midnight on Election Day, just 368 votes separated Christine Jennings from her Republican opponent, a difference of just 0.15%. Under Florida state law, we will have a mandatory recount to ensure that every vote is counted and counted accurately.
Christine has already started to close the gap. Yesterday she picked up dozens of votes on provisional ballots—and more are being counted.

http://www.actblue.com/page/recountOver 18,000 unexplained “undervotes” have also called this election into question. An undervote occurs when a voter skips a race on his or her ballot. The fact is, however, that 18,000 is a gross statistical irregularity. Something clearly went wrong with the electronic voting machines. Hundreds of people have reported that they tried to vote for Christine, but the machine wouldn’t record their vote the first time around. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune declared on Wednesday that if the 18,000 lost votes were reflected in the overall vote totals in the district, Christine Jennings would be the clear winner.
