I attended the Otero County Commission Canvass of Votes meeting this week. The numbers above may change only a miniscule amount due to some provisional ballots that were counted and the addition of several military absentee ballots.

At the meeting I made two suggestions to the Clerk:

One, that straight ticket votes be published on the Clerk's page as it is in other counties. This was agreed to.

Two, that mailing labels sold by the county to candidates include a second line "Or Current Resident" so that campaign materials end up somewhere instead of being routed back through the post office to the candidate. Robyn Holmes agreed with my suggestion.
