So just checked in to see how the count from the New Mexico caucus from last night was going, and it looks like Hillary has pulled into a 210 vote lead with 98% reporting. Crazy stuff indeed.
An observation for you all in terms of counties and voting patterns on the flip...
In breaking the voting down into the 3 congressional districts, check this out:
- 1st district, represented by the (traditional media proclaimed moderate) Heather Wilson:
Barack 25,782 (50%) leads Clinton 24,045 (47%) with 98% reporting
- 2nd district, represented by the odious and self-proclaimed super conservative Steve Pierce:
Clinton 19,787 (55%) is wiping the floor with Barack 14,517 (41%) with 98% reporting
- 3rd district, represented by soon-to-be-senator of New Mexico, environmentalist and all around good guy (and great progressive), Tom Udall:
Barack 25,664 (52%) has a decent size lead on Clinton 22,341 (45%) with 97% reporting
Pretty clear that Hillary leads in the more conservative district and Barack leads in the less conservative districts in New Mexico.
Still some votes left to count, it remains anybody's game, and there's very little chance that any delegates are flipped regardless of who wins and who loses, just thought this breakdown pretty interesting, so I thought I'd share it with y'all.
UPDATE: Pursuant to a very valid criticism in the comments, I modified the 2nd to last 'graph to reflect that there is no way of knowing that the Hillary voters are primarily conservative simply because their congressional representative is super conservative. It is a valid point and I apologize.
