"The state Legislature approved the law in 2005 but left many of the audit details to Secretary of State Mary Herrera, who has yet to reveal exactly how the audit will be carried out."

Take your time, Mary, no need to rush. The rest of the country actually expects us to screw up this election, so don't let them down!

That's one of the big questions about the audit regulations being written by Secretary of State Mary Herrera. The law calls for 2 percent of precincts statewide to be selected at random, but there's no guarantee how those precincts would be distributed. The new regulations could call for at least one precinct from each county, or leave it as a purely random selection. We'll see when the regulations are released.

I am hoping that one of the counties will be in the southern part of New Mexico and a smaller county. We do not feel like we are recognized at all.
