I have family in Albuquerque...when I emailed my sister about the fake blood-spattering on the pro-life people, she said she’d be sure to vote.
Albuquerque is a place of retired government and military personnel and lots of immigrants...problem I see is voter apathy.
You are right about apathy. The turn out figure was 24% of eligible voters. If they won’t turn out for this reason, they won’t turn out for anything. The turnout for last month’s mayoral election was 20%.
Scroll down in this story for those figures:

Actually, this election had record breaking turn out for a special election that had only 2 items on the ballot.
