Percentage of whites really doesn’t play well with Santa Fe being very liberal. (lots of movie stars and artist). All towns north are very old Hispanic who tend to vote conservative.
Albuquerque is close to a 50-50 mix. Lots
of California transplants. (like Texas)
The population in Albuquerque has practically doubled since the middle 70’s.
Lots of drugs running the I-25/I-40 corridors.
Las Cruces is a college town close to El
Paso and the Mexican border. (lots of illegals).
Roswell, Carlsbad, Artesia and towns east
(towards Texas) are mostly oil field and big ranches, and are very conservative.
That plus the Latinos who can't find themselves able to pull the lever on "President Screech - America's angry ex-esposa". Like you said, may be a larger number than people expect.
Anyways, prayers up we're both laughing about all this the rest of the week. Cheers and enjoy the gorgeous fall weather today.
