Daily Voting News For June 27,
2008
Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org
The state of New Mexico has a couple recounts that must
be done because of close election results in those races.
Previously recounts were accomplished by rereading the
memory cards. One candidate in one of the recounts protested
this means of finding out the real results of the election.
The Secretary of State has now changed the process and the
paper ballots will now be recounted. This will happen for
all ballots except those from two Cibola County precincts
where the ballots came up missing. Those two precincts will
have their memory cards read and the Attorney General is
considering an inquiry into what happened to the missing
ballots....
