NM looks like it's still undecided
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 03:16 PM by last_texas_dem
Has anybody seen any news organizations that have called it for one or the other of the candidates? I stayed up pretty late to see the results last night, and it was the only one that was still up in the air.

Here are the results as of now:

And here is an article about why it still hasn't been completed:

Ballot Counting Resumes At Noon For N.M. Democratic Caucus
New Mexico Lone Undecided State
(No Author Credited)

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Democratic Party officials in New Mexico resumed counting votes at noon Wednesday after a higher-than-expected turnout proved problematic for caucus voters and left the state as the last one undecided from Super Tuesday for Democrats.

Still outstanding are votes from three polling sites in Rio Arriba County: Espanola Middle School, Hernandez Elementary School, and Chimayo Elementary School. Democratic party officials said they cannot reach the Rio Arriba County Chair for the returns.

Also outstanding are votes from the Sandoval County site of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in the town of Bernalillo. Officials said they were having difficulty deciphering votes from that location. A contributing factor is determining which congressional district the votes are to be attributed to, since votes collected at that site come from two different congressional districts.

Complicating the caucus further is the matter of 16,871 outstanding provisional ballots throughout the state. These were ballots that were cast at caucus sites Tuesday but need to be qualified before they are counted. Provisional ballots can occur when people vote somewhere that is not their official caucus site. Because of the long lines in some polling sites Tuesday, some voters went to alternative sites and cast provisional ballots.

1. There are about 130,000 votes in and 16,000 provisional ballots to go through.
Clinton is currently winning by less than 120 votes.

4. Oh yeah
I also remember the SD Senate race in '02 being similar. Even though that night ('02 elections) was a bad one for the Democrats I was still trying to stay up for everything to come in, but SD just seemed to be taking *forever* with just this tiny amount of votes outstanding- but still enough to make a difference. Tim Johnson ended up beating the slimy John Thune, although Thune was able to take out Daschle in the '04 climate.
