In order to help everyone keep track of the returns from each state, please post all updates in the seven OFFICIAL THREADS posted for this purpose. There will be one thread for each state. Please do not start a bunch of other results threads, as they will just make people confused.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please put the most important information from each update in the SUBJECT LINE of your post, so the returns are easy to follow. Include the two-letter state abbreviation, then the number of precincts reporting, followed by the first three or four candidates in order. Kinda like this:

NM - 00% reporting - Candidate A 00%, Candidate B 00%, Candidate C 00%, Candidate D 00%

This thread is for results ONLY. Please avoid unnecessary discussion in this thread.

2. could you put NEW MEXICO in caps like the others?

it kind of gets lost with all the other states in caps... if it was intentional, I'm sorry. :hi:

[alittlelark]

44. I'm from there too..always small caps or little notice

Does the rest of the country know how important we are? Guess not. Sandia Labs, White Sands, The Very Large Array, 1st Nuclear detonation:-( MOST IGNORED.


What a strange world!?!?!??

The website reset itself

[Lydia Leftcoast]

26. Yup, everybody got 0%

:shrug:

25. there are no percentages there, only total numbers per cd n/t

27. That's a little wrong. The numbers aren't quite right.

31. 97% reporting, Kerry 28, Dean 24, Clark 24, Edwards 10, DK 5, Lieberman 3

Clark and Dean are 1 vote apart

[windansea]

32. something wrong with one of these sites

look at total votes cast and percentages

34. yikes... gmta... n/t

[KaraokeKarlton]

35. The second site lists total voters close to the numbers of the

absentee ballots. They can't be at 97% reporting or less than 10,000 people actually went to the caucus. Something's definitely screwy. Maybe they haven't counted the absentee ballots yet. :shrug:

[Renew Deal]

36. Maybe those are absentee only

I have been wondering how they counted so fast.

[KaraokeKarlton]

39. Didn't all the other places count the absentee ballots last?

What's the proper protocol for dealing with absentee ballots? If it were only absentee ballots that were counted I would expect Dean's numbers to be much higher than they were, probably Clark's too. The absentee ballots were sent out on January 2nd and had to be returned by January 26th. The last day they could even be requested was January 20th. Dean was the solid front runner until Iowa, and Kerry was polling very low. I'm guessing the absentees haven't been counted yet. If they were, there is no way Kerry would have as much as he did just due to him not even getting positivie press until late on January 19th and then on January 20th. Doesn't make any sense at all. :shrug:

[sistersofmercy]

40. Bill Richardson was just on MSNBC said the absentee ballots were

counted.

[arcos]

33. something's wrong... CNN shows a lot of votes more than the NM page...

http://www.nmdemcaucus2004.org/ Counted 25,934 97%
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/primaries/pages/dates/02/03/ 18% reported, but if you add them up, the total is more than 26k

[ChiefHappyButt]

37. 22% reporting

please note the vote counts. I don't know where the 97% in the earlier thread comes from, but it's not total number of votes cast in the state. They are expecting well in excess of 48,000 votes.

Kerry 8,198 30%
Dean 6,559 24%
Clark 6,549 24%
Edwards 2,881 11%
Kucinich 1,461 5%
Lieberman 790 3%
Uncommitted 194 1%
