@jolinegkg Hard to draw too many conclusions from a very low turnout special election, but judging by my inbox, Dems and Dem-aligned groups are very happy with the results. #nmpol
Up to 130K voters in the #nm01 race, so this ISN'T the lowest turnout by raw numbers in the last few decades (that would be the 1998 special election, with 123K voters).
Gonna be in the D+24 range, with a Libertarian and a conservative independent taking just under 4%.
Now the eyes of #nmpol look toward the Albuquerque mayoral race.
With all precincts fully reporting (just stray stuff like write-ins and provisionals to count), fewer people voted in this special election than voted for Michelle Garcia Holmes in November; Garcia Holmes got 41.8% of the vote. #nmpol
