Election Fraud-New Mexico- Gore vs Bush -The Onion 11-15-2000
Good grief, these guy were on to something, since we know now
that New Mexico was stolen in 2004 and is in the spotlight with the
Senator Domenici and US attorney firings.

------------------------------------------------------------------

ALBUQUERQUE, NM–New Mexico's five electoral votes swung back into the Bush column Monday when George W. Bush executed 253 Las Cruces-area Democrats. With their deaths, the Al Gore-backing Democrats were declared ineligible, wiping out the Democratic candidate's narrow 252-vote victory margin in New Mexico and giving Bush the state by just one vote.


The bodies of Democrats are taken by Bush 2000 coroners.

"We express great sorrow for the families of the condemned," said Karl Rove, Bush's senior strategist. "We must keep in mind, however, that these are not innocent people we're talking about here. These individuals were guilty of a variety of crimes, from vagrancy to jaywalking to reckless endangerment of pedestrians' lives through inappropriate use of rollerblades. And for these crimes, they paid a fair price."

3. Some had subscriptions to The New Yorker

"All 253 individuals were found guilty in a court of law," Bush said. "They were given a fair, 30-minute trial and handed a punishment commensurate with their misdeeds. Blatant disregard for the law may be tolerated elsewhere, but not in the great state of Texas. Or states close to Texas."



Bush gives the go-ahead sign to executioners at the El Paso Correctional Facility.
The New Mexico Democrats were administered lethal injection and pronounced dead shortly after 3 p.m. in the El Paso Correctional Facility, making them the 36th through 288th persons to be put to death in Texas this year. Immediately afterward, their ballots were nullified in their home voting district of Dona Ana County.

According to Texas Department of Corrections spokesman Martin Cobb, 27 of the executed Democrats were employees of a Las Cruces software company. They had crossed the Texas border to attend the weekend-long Southwest Computer Expo at the El Paso Convention Center.

"All of the information we gathered on the Las Cruces 27 indicated that they were questionable characters," Cobb said. "Some had subscriptions to The New Yorker. A few were confirmed members of the Sierra Club. One even participated in a union-led teachers' strike a few years ago."
