Election Day - Update

Everything seems to be going well still, at least for the most part. I just got off the phone for the 2nd of two conference calls with Common Cause New Mexico, which is tracking election issues today. They say for the most part things are still going smoothly, with 2 exceptions:

1) There have been at least 5 reports in Roswell of people getting calls at home telling them election day has been moved to November 8th because of the overwhelming interest in this election. An investigation is underway, but as of right now they don't know who is behind the calls.

2) There were problems with absentee ballots in Dona Ana County. Apparently some of them went out late, which means people won't be able to get them returned in time. If you fall into that category, the advice is to head to a polling place right now before they close at 7pm, and someone should be able to help you out there.

Be sure to watch newmexicoinfocus.org starting at 7pm for live local analysis and coverage of the election!
