[EL] Cayuga County NY revises number of voters who abstained on pres. race

[Richard Winger]

A week ago, Charles Stewart mentioned on this list the Cayuga County New York Board of Elections had certified that 14.6% of the people who cast a ballot last month left president blank, and over 20% left US Senate blank.

Today the New York State Board of Elections information officer phoned me and said Cayuga County has now realized a computer glitch caused the county report to be inaccurate.  Instead of 5,355 "blank" votes for President, the county now says only 462 voters left president unvoted.
