68. Judges were listed with party affiliation

That is a red herring. Judges were listed in NM with party affiliation. There was not a shift in NM from Dem to Rep. Gore won by a few hundred votes in 2000 and Bush won by 6,000 this time, after more than that many provisional ballots were thrown out. In both years, the result was within the margin for error in the voting system. NM was, and is, a purple state.

It is also interesting that Gore squeaked by under a Republican governor and Bush squeaked by under a Democratic governor. In both cases, the governor had been elected by convincing majorities.
