Updated NM Primary Election Results
UPDATE: I've updated the totals on the Democratic competitive races according to the unofficial results up on the Secretary of State's website. Unofficial winners are in red. Very sadly, statewide voter turnout is expected to be about 15% of all registered voters, with about a 14% turnout in Bernalillo County. Abysmal. The latest results are:
********************
Just got back from the Dem gathering at the Albuquerque Hilton and here's what I know at this hour:
ATTORNEY GENERAL: Gary King, Geno Zamora, Lem Martinez in that order. King claimed victory with a speech and the others joined him on stage in what amounted to their concessions. He was ahead by more than 10 percentage points.
UPDATE:
Geno Zamora 31.9%
Lem Martinez 21.9%
Gary King 46.2%
SECRETARY OF STATE: Last I heard, Mary Herrera was ahead with Stephanie Gonzales about 9 points down, followed by Shirley Hooper and Letitia Montoya in that order. This could change.
UPDATE:
Mary Herrera 39.6%
Stephanie Gonzales 28.9%
Shirley Hooper 19.5%
Letitia Montoya 12.1%
LAND COMMISSIONER: Jim Baca led by about 3,000 votes over Ray Powell. Baca had been trailing until the results from Northern NM precincts rolled in.
UPDATE:
Ray Powell 49.1%
Jim Baca 50.9%
STATE AUDITOR: It appears that Jeff Armijo won, with a large lead developing versus Thomas Buckner.
UPDATE:
Jeff Armijo 62.0%
Tom Buckner 38.0%
STATE REP. DISTRICT 16: Big win for progressive favorite Moe Maestas looks like a winner at this stage of the game in the 4-way race with Dominic Aragon, Pat Baca, Jr. and Dan Serrano.
UPDATE:
Pat Baca Jr. 27.0%
Moe Maestas 34.1%
Dominic Aragon 18.6%
Dan Serrano 20.2%
Other races per Bernalillo County Clerk's website:
BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSIONER (DIST. 1)
Loretta A. Naranjo 47.28%
Alan B. Armijo 52.72%
BERNALILLO COUNTY ASSESSOR
Moises Gonzales 36.93%
Karen Montoya 41.31%
Dolores Maestas 21.76%
The results being reported on the NM Secretary of State's website were coming in slowly, but by the time you read this they may be more complete. And here's the link to results at the .

I'm tempted to vote for Republican Vickie Perea in the secretary of state race. It's depressing that someone who fought paper ballots is our nominee. Maybe it's because it was Herrera counting the votes in her own election?
Happy to see Moe Maestas win. He deserved it and will bring good progressive credentials to the legislature. One for us!

Why is the sec of state's site so slow? I'm sure it will improve if Mary Herrera wins. Not.

Congratulations to Stephanie Gonzales for running a good race. Too bad you couldn't overcome Herrera's groupies. Now we have to deal with someone who dislikes paper ballots. Your 8 point plan was the best!

Come on you guys, it's time for the Democratic Party to UNITE!
Kossian, please don't get divisive - that's what happened to this particular primary.
We can hardly afford to implode before the General Election in November.
Barb, don't you agree?

I only unite behind competent, honest candidates. Not supporting Herrera isn't "imploding." What's imploding is the Democratic party here if that's the best they can do.

Kossian, obviously 50,000 New Mexicans Voters disagree with you.

Yeah Edge, and the majority voted in Bush and Nixon too. Voters can be ignorant, or they can vote according ethnicity or other factors that don't really track with the positions the candidate takes.
If Herrera wants "unity" in the Dem Party and wants the support of the election reform community, she'd better reach out and be real or she may be surprised.

Herrera is real. Unity was my word. Get ready, New Mexico is in for an EXCELLENT Secretary of State! From the inside....The Voter's Friend, Edge
