WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Christine Jennings, the Democrat who is contesting the election results in Florida's 13th District, formally sued the manufacturer of the voting machines used in that race. Jennings claims the machines failed to record several thousand votes in Sarasota county, a Democratic leaning district.

Jennings asserts that voting machines made by Electronic Systems and Software, Inc. produced an under-vote rate of 15% -- more than six times higher than any of the district's other counties-- and resulted in nearly 18,000 under votes.

"There is a real crisis in confidence among voters, not just in Florida but throughout the country," said Christine Jennings. "The voters of District 13 deserve answers, but this case has much wider implications beyond Florida. This is a test case for the entire nation."

Jennings, who officially lost the race to Republican Vern Buchanan by 369 votes, formally contested the results November 20.
