Confusion in the Land of Enchantment

Our New Mexico correspondent, Carolyn Hoffland, writes:
Greetings from the "Land of Enchantment!" It has been awhile since we have written on the blog. However, Lorlee's story about the "Texas Two-Step" has encouraged me to tell our story here in New Mexico. At least Texas knew how to count the votes, it took New Mexico nine days to count our votes! They counted, re-counted and counted! Ridiculous! Yes, we are probably the only place in America where they allowed xerox copies of ballots!
Nobody in New Mexico was ready for this primary, I think, because usually it is held in June. They moved the date up and then didn't have adequate polling places. People waited 2-3 hours in line. Many elderly gave up and went home. They even ran out of ballots!
I am embarrassed to even tell our story. However, maybe it is good Governor Richardson didn't make the "White House" because he can't even manage his own "house" here in New Mexico. Frustrating!
Otherwise, on the brighter side, Harland and I are fine. We thought we were starting to enjoy warmer temps and now they say it will snow. Our little hide-away in Northern New Mexico (Chama, a town much like Nelson) has received 14 feet of snow. They made the national news! Of course, that is better news than taking 9 days to count our primary votes! Who knows what the "Land of Enchantment" will produce next to get national coverage!

(Carolyn. Yes, we know you are not shy. That reference to being shy was to your fine husband, Harland. I will change the sentence in your blog thumbnail to make that clear. We do know you are not shy. :) Thanks for the post! Who's next? TB)
