NM Dem Convention Primary Results
I'll have more about this weekend's Democratic Party SCC Meeting and Pre-Primary Convention in Albuquerque, but I'm down with a bug right now. I did want to get the numbers up today for primary candidates, however. According to the Albuquerque Journal, here's how the primary race voting in contested races went with Democratic Party Pre-Primary Convention Delegates yesterday:
UPDATE 1:34 PM: I've amended the percentages based on info provided by the DPBC.
Attorney General:
35.95% Geno Zamora
32.70% Lemuel Martinez
31.34% Gary King
Secretary of State:
34.09% Mary Herrera
33.48% Stephanie Gonzales
21.14% Shirley Hooper
11.29% Letitia Montoya
Land Commissioner:
74.12% Ray Powell Jr.
25.88% Jim Baca
State Auditor:
69.98% Jeff Armijo
30.02% Ray Buckman
Winners in uncontested races: Jeff Bingman, U.S. Senator; Patricia Madrid, U.S. House CD1; Albert Kissling, U.S. House CD2; Tom Udall, U.S. House CD3; Bill Richardson, Governor; Diane Denish, Lt. Governor; James Lewis, State Treasurer.
To get on the primary election ballot without having to get additional signatures, candidates had to receive at least 20% of delegate votes. The order of the candidates on the ballot for the Democratic Primary Election on June 6, 2006, will be determined by the number of votes received from delegates in contested primary races. Whoever got the most delegate votes will be at the top of the ticket for that race.

Happy to see the obstinate Mary Herrera didn't get the votes she thought she'd get. Anyone who fought so hard against paper ballots here should not be elected secretary of state!

I posted this on the Santa Fe New Mexican https://www.freenewmexican.com/readerblogs/39249.html We’ve got to get the word out. (Some of the info will probably be redundant for some of you, but they are good resources.):
Unfortunately, Mary Herrera will be on the Democratic Primary ballot. She resisted the citizens' efforts to get Verifiable Paper Ballots law enacted.
It took a RESTRAINING ORDER to prevent her from SQUANDERING county funds to purchase UNRELIABLE electronic voting machines that would have been render non-complying and worthless if the lawsuit prevailed OR if the proposed Voter Task Force recommendations were adopted into law –WHICH THEY WERE! https://www.voteraction.org/index.php/static/Lopategui_Lawsuit
Her performance as Bernalillo County Clerk during the 2004 Presidential election earned her a well-deserved spot on the voters' Lopategui v Vigil-Giron Lawsuit lawsuit. https://www.voteraction.org/index.php/static/Lopategui_Complaint and for destatistical recap of Bern county : https://uvotenm.org/Info/da/BernalilloBrief.doc
Stephanie will have to divert needed resources to gain the nomination. She needs to go after Hererra relentlessly and without mercy. If Hererra gets the nomination, with her record of incompetence she will be highly vulnerable.

Down with Herrera! Up with Gonzales! We cannot let someone with the record PlacitasRoy points out above to be our Sec of State at a time like this. Herrera pretends to be on the side of paper ballots now but she has fought that all the way and even testified against paper ballots at the legislature using Republican talking points. She's shameful.

A couple of reasons I will not support Marry Herrera.
Herrera is an Opponent of election reform –
Why no paper trail to enable ‘honest’ recounts
Phantom votes in Bernalillo County –
Bogus votes have appeared in several elections in the last two years in Bernalillo County
