According to the liberal media, NM voter registration is 50% Democratic. Moreover, registered Republicans account for 36%. (I cannot link to these stats because, curiously, the Abq Journal doesn’t have this particular article online.) So, how is it that the Republican candidate for governor leads in most polls? Are the polls bogus? Do they only poll Republicans? Well, I do believe polls are bogus and anti-democratic in that they are used to suppress turnout, which ALWAYS benefits Republicans. For whatever reason, the less-qualified Republican leads and, perhaps, will win.

You can be sure that a Republican governor will do everything she can to strengthen the impact of those 36% who are Republican. For Republicans, 36% is 100%. So, if you are a Democrat: Are you going to let the Republican win?

One reason why the outcome of the New Mexico governor’s race is so critical is the winner controls how the state’s political districts are redrawn.

Every 10 years the state has to adjust the election boundaries. New Mexico is due for another adjustment and the new governor will have key input in where those lines are drawn.

"Who wins the governor seat will be critical to the impact of redistricting," KOAT political analyst Brian Sanderoff said.

Sanderoff said whoever controls the governor’s seat will control where the district lines are drawn.
