Ok, so we lost. Let the pundits on our side talk of the 'moral' victory. Not me. Wouda been great but then we all can acknowledge victory was a bridge too far.

Not according to the Sec of State official count. A count that has been going on for two hours with no updates. Only 2.2% of the vote in so far.
If it was a blowout the could call that easily, we would see some numbers by now.
So far around 100,000 votes cast. And they are being counted in several counties. There isn’t so many that the results should be so slow.

Seems too early to call, especially since the republic-nts did SO much to secure the elections this time, right? Right? Uh...

It’s weird. All the news channels in Albuquerque and AP are calling for her. But actual hard numbers and percentages reporting are nowhere. Sec of State site has 2.2% reporting. At least that’s what I’m seeing.

This is sketchy.

All I know is that when they have a slam dunk, we get results fast. This is a small area, and we are closing in on 3 hours after with almost no official numbers.
They are doing something alright.

” victory was a bridge too far”
Especially with today’s Republican Party. Your party (I left after 2012) is too fractured to win much of anything beyond the local level.
Trumpsters, Never Trumpsters, Liberals, Conservatives, Libertarians.
Great Governors Like DeSantis & Noem. Crap Governors like DeWine & Ducey. Then look at the current Senate & House.
I do and sometime, I could just puke.
Never again, will I donate a dime to this bunch.

Bernalillo County has been stealing elections for democrats long before Dominion ran the first ballot through its first machine.

I have absolutely no doubt that they will steal this one too, but yeah, there is only 6% results in, and the Republican seems to be closing the gap, so to call the election already, is either ridiculous, or just knowing that the fix is in, as usual

. . . Biden won the Democratic-leaning by 23 points in November . . .
23 points is a bit more than a "lean".

Democrat will likely match Biden’s margin. I guess open borders are fine with New Mexicans.

Not good, but it was Secretary of the Interior Haaland’s seat, so it’s not one that was flipped.
