It seems like the distribution of ending numbers should be random, so it would be expected that each of the ending sets of digits would appear at the same frequency.
Since there are 478 precincts the typical frequency would be around 4 I would think. So 00 is reported in excess.

Perhaps so regarding the last digit, but there's also the weird quirk of statistics known as Benford's Law which deals with the value of the first digit, which would actually be interesting to see applied to the vote tallies by precinct.
Maybe there would be some funny business to spot by looking at it from that angle too.
