3. Apparently some of the ballot boxes had a slumber part at somebody's house.

from what I've read. And they were Hillary supporters. :WTF:

Beats me.

4. to live here is to know why...

Well, it is a poor State. Adequate funds apparently were not allocated. A low estimate was made of voter turnout-->insufficient staffing of inadequate number of polling places, long waits in many voting places. General incompetence.

5. an additional factor seems to be privatization

of public functions--According to an article at bradblog.com, those 17,000 provisional ballots were the result of use of Es&S's list of voters (a private "red" company). ES&S's list "missed" a bunch of voters. Can we get some honesty going and dump the "red" companies who lie, cheat, and steal in order to win?

6. i think a lack of volunteers was another big issue

our county was lucky but I heard it was hard getting Party members to volunteer.

7. Well Hill dog won...

But what do you think about New Mexico turning Blue in November? Is it possible?

8. absolutely...

Looking at the percentage of NM's who are registered Dem, the voter turnout for this caucus, and the sorry competence of the Bushies these long years, I certainly think it's likely. Now if only Hilary would stop attacking Obama for ridiculous things like plagarism, and get more substantial... we might learn something about these two ?decent candidates. Well, I take that back, I think through these Nov dynamics we are learning quite a bit about each one of them.... not always what I'd like to see though....
