SANTA FE — The New Mexico Secretary of State's Office plans to print nearly 2.5 million paper ballots for the Nov. 4 general election, although the state has only slightly more than 1.1 million voters.
The reason?
With a highly anticipated election less than seven weeks away that includes voting for president, an open U.S. Senate seat and three open congressional positions, the Secretary of State's Office wants to make sure each of the 1,550 precincts statewide is ready for an onslaught of voters who might or might not vote at their assigned polling places.
"If we're going to err, we're going to err on the side of caution," said Don Francisco Trujillo, deputy secretary of state. "We'd rather shred ballots than disenfranchise a single voter in the state of New Mexico."

This time around, the ratio of ballots per voter will be higher in more populated, urban counties than in rural ones.

If you want on or off the NM Ping list, please FReepmail me.
Access to the ping list is available to anyone by going to my FR home page.
And conveniently “pre completed” for the rat voting crowd ...
Keep an eye on that County where Albuquerque is. I will bet anything they will still be counting ballots three days after the polls close.
Follow the money... which supplier/printer is the best friend (and donor) of the board of elections/Sec. of State?
Aye, they changed from red to blue the last 2 elections by the oh-look-I-found-another-ballot-box method. They have it down to a science.
Wonder how many illegal, dead and coming in from other states or people voting twice, prisoners and just about everyone who can illegally vote there will be?
Three days? Since when did we get that efficient?
In 2004 it took the Afghans less time to count their ballots than NM.
Watch the polls VERY CAREFULLY!!!
Vote early, vote often...reminds me of the Clinton years.
Why do you think they can finish it in three days. It generally takes three weeks. Don’t be surprised if they are still counting the ballots when the new President is inaugurated.
One time the ‘found’ ballot boxes were in a closet in a poll worker’s house. The second time they were in the trunk of a poll worker. They tried a third time by busing Native Americans to different precints but couldn’t find enough Native Americans.
Expect Obama to win NM this time by 2.1 million votes to McCain's 400,000. The immediate impact will only be on NM's electoral votes, but the popular vote tally will allow the media to claim that Obama won the national popular vote by 1 million votes, which could be useful if some states' electoral votes are being disputed like in 2000. Of course the media wouldn't find it newsworthy if Obama's vote total exceeded the state's total population.
Oh, and finding boxes accidentally set behind doors, and unused closets, and well, anywhere votes are needed.
Because the mexican border is so close and the state needs new dimocrat converts?
And, in Las Cruces, they’ll find just enough votes in a “misplaced” ballot box to throw the state to Obama if he loses a close one.
Bernalillo is bad, but there are far worse counties in New Mexico. Dona Ana has had obvious fraud the last 2 Presidential elections.
Don Francisco Trujillo, deputy secretary of state. "We'd rather shred ballots than disenfranchise a single voter in the state of New Mexico."Uh.. why don't I see the word "Legal" between 'single' and 'voter'?
Don’t forget that the radical Marxist group ACORN (BHO’s “homeys”) are involved in this. This group and others like the ACLU need to be closely watched, not only in NM but everywhere else. I strongly suspect that there’s a voter fraud plan (dare I say conspiracy?) in the works right now.
