SANTA FE— For $1.4 million, two presidential candidates and some voting rights advocates may get a statewide recount of New Mexico's recent presidential election.
Or the matter may be decided in court.
The state Canvassing Board on Tuesday, after some deliberation, granted a late November request for a recount by presidential candidates David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik, a Libertarian.
Recount backers say their goal is to verify the accuracy and credibility of New Mexico's voting systems. They have raised concerns about touch screen voting machines and the so-called undervote.
But according to state election officials, recount proponents will have to come up with $1.4 million by 10 a.m. Thursday in order to proceed.
