56% in, Berry still winning. A State Rep. predicted this would be exactly what he’d get, and it appears he is.

I live in Santa Fe and get the ABQ TV. Mayor Chavez just stated in an interview that if trends hold, Berry will be the next mayor. He seemed to know that the outstanding votes were in precincts not favorable to him.
Berry needs 40%+1, so as we start approaching 80% of precincts reporting it would be helpful to see Berry’s vote percentage with one (or maybe two) decimal points. The difference between 39.5% and 40.4% is HUGE.
