More than 24,000 people who cast ballots last Tuesday skipped over the governor's race - meaning that for every 100 actual voters, one didn't cast a vote for the state's chief executive race that was at the top of the ticket.

Put another way, more people skipped the race than voted for the nine low-profile independent and third-party candidates combined (all of the candidates except for Chris Daggett, Jon Corzine and Chris Christie).
