Presidential recount dispute back before N.M. Supreme Court

SANTA FE (AP) - The state’s highest court is revisiting a dispute over last year’s presidential election in New Mexico.

At issue before the state Supreme Court is the procedure for a statewide recount of ballots and a new law enacted because of the 2004 election flap.

Justices are scheduled Monday to hear arguments from lawyers for the state and last year’s Green and Libertarian presidential candidates.

David Cobb and Michael Badnarik contend the state wrongly handled their request for a recount.

The two asked for a recount of presidential ballots statewide in late November, saying there were problems with voting machines.

There’s no deadline for the court to issue a ruling.
