Today's Potomac Primaries: DC, Maryland, Virginia, Plus Democrats Abroad

Dem presidential primaries are underway today in the District of Columbia (15 delegates), Maryland (70 deleagates) and Virginia (83 delegates). Also, the final results of balloting conducted at various locations overseas by Democrats Abroad (7 delegates) are due. All eyes are on Barack Obama to see if he will sweep the contests today as he swept the four held this past weekend by large margins. Recent polling shows him with substantial leads over Hillary Clinton in both Maryland and Virginia. No recent polling has been done in DC, but earlier caucuses there demonstrated strong support for Obama. Voting sites in Maryland and DC close at 6PM MST and in Virginia at 5 PM MS. CNN will have results tonight.

Can someone explain what the heck is going on? How can every other state but New Mexico do this? This looks very fishy from afar (and maybe even from up close).

New Mexico has very close elections. Therefore, we need to count all the valid ballots. In states with bigger margins, they didn't have to do that.
