THE VOTES HAVE BEEN RECOUNTED AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO’S DISTRICT TWO CONGRESSIONAL RACE HAS A DIFFERENT WINNER. REPUBLICAN YVETTE HERRELL WAS NAMED THE WINNER IN HER RACE AGAINST XOCHITL TORRES SMALL… BUT TORRES SMALL SAID SHE WOULDN’T CONCEDE UNTIL ALL THE VOTES WERE COUNTED.
GOOD THING SHE WAITED BECAUSE THE COUNT DISCOVERED TORRES SMALL ACTUALLY WON THAT RACE FOR CONGRESS. THE DONA ANA COUNTY CLERK SAYS FATIGUE FORCED THE CLERKS TO STOP COUNTING AT MIDNIGHT TUESDAY AND START AGAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING.
TORRES SMALL TAKES OVER THE SEAT VACATED BY STEVE PEARCE.
