[EL] Cayuga County, NY election returns?

[Charles Stewart III]

Does anyone on the listserv know why Cayuga County, New York reported that 20.6% of the votes cast for president were blank, compared to 0.7% statewide?  The election returns posted on the New York Board of Elections web site don't indicate that this is one of the counties that is regarded as "Provisional."  The next-highest county is 3.1% (Allegany).  The reported blank pct. for the U.S. Senate race is also unusually high (20.6% for the county compared to 5.9% statewide).

I'm happy to take the answer off-line.

Charles
