>On Monday, November 29, Green Party Presidential candidate David 
>Cobb and Libertarian Party candidate Michael Badnarik filed for a 
>full recount of the New Mexico Presidential election. The purpose of 
>the recount is to bring to light any discrepencies and 
>irregularities with this election, and to call for auditable paper 
>ballots to be in place in time for the 2006 elections. In addition, 
>the Cobb campaign hopes to use this opportunity to call for much 
>needed electoral reforms such as same day voter registration, 
>Instant Runoff Voting, and nonpartisan oversight of elections.
>
>MoveOn has already provided a list of 750 individuals in NM who have 
>indicated they want to help with the recount.  
>
>The state Election Code calls for the recount to begin no later than 
>December 13 in all counties in New Mexico. It also allows "any 
>person who may desire to be present" to act as an observer. If you 
>are interested in being an observer, please contact Rick Lass at 
>ricklass at newmexico.com or 982-2478. We are especially in need of 
>observers outside of the Santa Fe area.
