I don't understand how NM went to Bush

[question everything]

The local paper published a map of the votes by county. Perhaps someone can find a link and NM has more dark and light blue regions than WA or OR, more than PA, IL or WI.

1. I don't know, but it depends on the population of each county

I haven't seen the Oregon map, but I bet it had small blue areas, respresenting the areas around Portland, Eugene, Corvallis, Ashland, and Astoria, with the rest being red. That's where the population centers are, but they don't cover much territory. The red areas of Oregon are larger geographically but have many fewer people.

2. yep, that massive sea of red states is primarily empty land in the

west and midwest :-)

3. Too much "spoilage"

Many Hispanic, Native American and poor area voters not counted. Bush "won" by less than the "spoilage" amount. Easy to just throw away the votes.

Greg Palast reported on his site www.gregpalast.com the early findings of false spoilage.

7. The same way Ohio and Florida went to bush

We have a fundamental problem with democracy in this country right now.

8. This was one of the stranger moments on CNN

into the early morning hours on election night. They gave NM to Bush and then said that something strange was happening and that the figure for Bush had jumped by 5000..anyway, they said it wasn't normal and they were taking NM back from the Bush total.

These guys were nervous and whatever was happening was causing some severe stuttering.

9. I saw that it was 230 am and it was Judy Woodruff

something about the AP and bunch of new numbers favoring Bush, said it was unusual and then said no it was normal, and then said no it was not normal, and then I knew the fix was in, so I quit watching and logged on the net.

11. Yes and thank you!

I was brain dead when I posted that and could not think of her name for anything.
