Current ABQJournal/AP count as of the time of this post has President Bush ahead by 8,333 votes. These numbers will change tomorrow as the 5,800+ Bernalillo County provisional votes and remaining absentee/overseas are entered into the system.

John Fund just said on FOX that New Mexico is finished. Sh&T! I was hoping that he was right.

According to John Fund 5 minutes ago (appearing on Brit Hume's Special Report)...the counting is over & Pres. Bush won by ~ 5,000 votes!!!

Are those 5,800+ ABQ ballots the only ones remaining to be counted? Or has Richardson found some additional ballots?

The batch showed that all disqualified ballots were Democrat, and those that qualified were all Republican, Herrera said. She said she did not know the exact number of ballots, and she did not immediately know the precinct number. "I'm going to do further investigation, and I'm going to meet with the presiding judge," Herrera said. "It seems really suspicious. I don't believe somebody would do that purposely. I hope not. I'm hoping it was just human error."

Um.

You see, I suspect that this Herrera person thinks that if there's a batch of provisional ballots, and some are rejected, and all the rejected ones are (D)s, this indicates something suspicious on the part of the person who rejected them.

To me, the obvious interpretation is completely the opposite: it indicates something suspicious on all those (D)s who asked for and cast provisional ballots though they were not properly registered to vote, had already voted, etc.

Looks like Bill Richardson screwed up big time.

The glitch is the fat guy in the Governor's mansion.
