NM Undervotes Increase According to VotersUnite.org

VotersUnite.org has a piece on Phantom Votes in New Mexico that examines data from the NM Secretary of State's website to conclude that:

". . .the discovery of 2,087 phantom votes shows that New Mexico's excessive undervote rate is really higher than previously thought. Instead of reporting 18,997 ballots with no vote (or an overvote) for president, New Mexico really reported 21,084 presidential undervotes.

Rather than an already high rate of 2.45%, New Mexico's undervote rate for 2004 is actually 2.72%."
