Dems Fall Short

More Dem stupidity at the polling place, but at least they're only visiting it on themselves. I have vented here before on the fraudulent possibilities of provisional ballots, sure to be employed to the fullest by the Dems if necessary in the fall.

AP, New Mexico:
Democrats prepared Wednesday to examine more than 17,000 provisional ballots that will determine a winner in New Mexico's tightly contested presidential caucus.

With 183 of 184 of precincts reporting, Hillary Rodham Clinton held a lead of 1,092 votes—67,921 votes compared to 66,829 for Barack Obama, according to preliminary results posted on the state Democratic Party's Web site.

New Mexico is the only one of 22 states that held Democratic primaries and caucuses on Super Tuesday yet to report a winner.

The examination of the provisional ballots, expected to begin Thursday, will be closed to the news media but will be attended by representatives from both the Obama and Clinton campaigns, party officials said.

Provisional ballots are given to voters who show up to the wrong site, whose names are not on registered voter lists provided by the state or who requested an absentee ballot but signed an affidavit saying they did not return it.

We'll see how good Obama's and Hillary's legal teams are. Maybe they'll clean up the rolls before November and do us all a favor. And maybe not.

The caucus, which was run by the state's Democratic Party, was riddled with trouble—with reports coming from across the state of exasperated voters waiting in lines for up to three hours and polling sites running short of ballots.
And these guys want to run the country.

P.S. Maybe they should put this out for bids to the private sector.
