NY appears to sometimes contain "mode" data in the "candidate" column #22

Hi, and thanks for your help. Please excuse me if this isn't a bug. I read through the readme and it mentioned PUBLIC COUNTER votes, but I'm seeing something slightly different.

In the NY data file, in the "candidate" column, I see some values that look like they should be in the "mode" column:

"AFFIDAVIT"
"ABSENTEE / MILITARY"
"FEDERAL" (not sure what this one means?)
"SCATTERING" (not sure what this one means?)

Let me know if I can be more useful, thank you!
