On May 16, the Green and Libertarian Party 2004
presidential nominees won their lawsuit in the New
Mexico Supreme Court, over their request for a
recount. I only learned this today. The opinion is
on the New Mexico Supreme Court's website. Cobb v
State Canvassing Board, no. 29,095. The court
unanimously said the board should have done the
recount. However, there will be no recount now,
because (1) it's now physically impossible since the
mechanical voting machine counters have been cleared;
(2) even if the results had shown that Kerry carried
New Mexico, Bush would still have had enough electoral
votes to win in 2004 without New Mexico.
