New Mexico has a large number of absentee and early votes uncounted...
that's why they can't call it yet...
It is a small population in NM, so these votes could change the outcome

A little history lesson, folks. There's a simple explanation for the 103% figure. This is a time-honored Democratic tradition.

It goes back to at least 1948 in south Texas. There, political opeative par excelance Tom Parr truly showed his influence in LBJ's campaign for the Democratic nomination for US Senator. His influence was such that in one south Texas county, the voter turnout rate was in excess of 98% - and in another, the dead literally voted.

IMO, this is the explanation for the 103% turnout in NM.

Yes - I'm joking about NM in 2004. I think the 103% figure is a clerical or arithmetic error.

Sadly, I'm not joking a bit about Tom Parr, LBJ, and 1948. See Robert Cato's Means of Ascent (volume 2 of his multi-volume bio of LBJ) for the riviting, filthy details.
