Earlier post:
Theres already been some voting at the state Republican Partys preprimary convention today. Check out the results now, and keep checking back. Ill keep this blog updated as new results come in.
2nd Congressional District
Steve Pearce 92 percent
Cliff Pirtle 8 percent
A candidate has to get 20 percent to appear on the ballot, or collect a number of extra signatures before Tuesday if they fail in that task, so Pirtle will have to collect more signatures if he wants to stay in the race.
3rd Congressional District
Tom Mullins 80.5 percent
Adam Kokesh 19.5 percent
Its not clear at this point if Kokesh has earned his way on the ballot. Theres some sort of recount going on and theres also a question about whether numbers should be rounded up. Stay tuned.
1st Congressional District
Jon Barela Unopposed and selected by a voice vote
The fight in New Mexico is NOT over folks, Kokesh made claims that DEMOCRATS are changing their affiliations to vote for KOKESH in the primary!!!
More voting to come, lookout New Mexico!

below, i put the link to the last candidate forum between mullins and kokesh.
during the Q and A (somewhere about 20 mins into the first video, after each candidate gives his introductory remarks), someone asked how each candidate was planning on winning. kokesh noted that there was a large democrat crossover registration for the primaries, thus he felt that he would win the primary and ultimately the election with the help of the democrat vote.
my question is this; since the dem candidate is unopposed, there is really no reason why many dems couldn’t just switch their registration, vote in the repub primary and get kokesh nominated. is the NM repub party concerned about this possibility, and if so, what are they doing to address it?

Who is Susanna Martinez? Is she a law and order Republican? Or a pro-amnesty Republican - laws only apply to everyone except Latinos!
Which RINO recently backed Kokesh?
your post is a vanity and you should not attribute your words to nmpolitics.net
Tom Mullins 80.5 percent
Adam Kokesh 19.5 percent

Race, I'm unclear what the statement following the numbers mean, could you clarify.
? sorry, Race...I am not clear on this Kokesh guy. What is the deal? He isn’t in the House of Reps right now is he?
I don't know what this statement means, either. Is this something (whatever it is) particular to New Mexico primaries?

Good.
Hooah!
Hey Kokesh...when you go away take Ron Paul with you.

Thanks for the post. BTTT.
Outstanding!
Both he and Ron Paul can take a hike.
Anbody NM Freepers know if Susana Martinez is a conservative or an open-borders McCain clone?
Looks like another anti-american paulbot kook goes down the tubes.
19.5 percent is not 20 percent!
Ping of possible interest devolve
Hmmm! Let's see...My Redskins tickets cost me (actually my kids since I'm now ancient) about $7,650. However, all I've got is $7,600.
Guess I'll call Daniel S. and ask him if I can get in anyway...
Yeah sure!
If the Guppies allow "19.5" to equal "20" via new-age political relativism ("roundup")...They will have demonstrated why there is little hope for eventual restoration of the Republic via the ballot box.
Think it would be productive now to start pushing Kokesh to run third party? Seems he would bleed Greens and Democrats much more than he would hurt the GOP candidate.
How’s that hope and changey working out for ya there, Kokesh? Idiot.
