That should be an interesting meeting. I think the election in Bernalillo County was a disaster. Here's some data from the Secretary of State's web page:
Bernalillo County. 2004 general election, registration as of 12/04:
Registered Republicans: 122,840
Votes for Bush: 121,454 (47.3%)
In other words, Bush got more votes than there are Republicans.
Registered Democrats: 162,461
Kerry votes: 132,252 (51.5%)
While Kerry got a whole lot fewer votes than there are registered democrats. That doesn's suggest an effective GOTV effort.
By comparison, here's the voting from the County in 2000:
Bush 95,249 (47%)
Gore 99,461 (49%)
Nader 8,274 (4%)
So all that money and all that time in getting out the vote didn't get us forwarder from where we were four years ago.
Surely we could have done better. What happened to the 30,000 registered Democrats who apparently didn't vote for Kerry?
I think I'll ask Matt Farrauto.
