"Impossible" Phantom votes in New Mexico
In Andy Lenderman's Albuquerque Journal article "Vote Recount Fight 'Is Not Over' ", he tells us that New Mexico's Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron claimed "so-called phantom votes are not possible." She says that independent auditors didn't find any phantom votes in the presidential election, and "If I would have found some irregularities, believe you me I would have brought them out and questioned them." Such claims notwithstanding those phantom votes are right there in the certified results. While the phantoms come mostly from Bernalillo County, significant numbers come from Dona Ana and Santa Fe Counties. In all fifteen counties reported at least one 'impossible' phantom vote. Bernalillo's 1,239 phantom Votes had the effect of reducing the county's apparent undervote count from7,045 (2.68%) to 5,806 (2.21%.)
Here's the Top 20 Phantom Vote Precincts. I would suggest that there may be whole deveelopments full of haunted houses in New Mexico, at least judging by the Secretary of State's impossible certified results.
