SANTA FE— For $1.4 million, two presidential candidates and some voting rights advocates may get a statewide recount of New Mexico's recent presidential election.
Or the matter may be decided in court.
The state Canvassing Board on Tuesday, after some deliberation, granted a late November request for a recount by presidential candidates David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik, a Libertarian.
Recount backers say their goal is to verify the accuracy and credibility of New Mexico's voting systems. They have raised concerns about touch screen voting machines and the so-called undervote.
But according to state election officials, recount proponents will have to come up with $1.4 million by 10 a.m. Thursday in order to proceed.

4. Bill Richardson will not be our first Hispanic President at this rate.

Time to get some Santa Fe progressive money to step forward. If the election results are reversed there (which is more likely in the Land of Enchantment than in any other state in play now), the folks will get their money back. Kick!

6. Why would you pay 1.4ml to recount a TouchScreen systems?

The count will be the same. That's bogus.
