Bad Voter Lists May Have Botched New Mexico's Democratic Caucus

Democratic party officials in New Mexico may have used an incomplete list of registered voters on Super Tuesday -- prepared for the Secretary of State by a private vendor -- causing nearly 13 percent of Democrats to find they were not on precinct voter rolls when they showed up to choose a presidential nominee.

As a result, the New Mexico Democratic Party is now in the process of validating and counting more than 17,000 provisional ballots. That count will likely determine who won the nation's closest Democratic nominating contest so far in 2008. It is unclear whether the voter list that resulted in so many provisional ballots -- or an updated list -- will be used to verify, validate and count the 17,000 votes.

It does not bode well for November!
