New Mexico: sources, checks and caveats

View New Mexico counties →Download CSVAll state notes

File: NM.csv (33 counties). Columns: d = Democratic, r = Republican, o = all other U.S. House votes. In 2022 these were only write-ins. In 2026 there were no third-party or write-in House candidates, so o26 = 0. Write-in candidates count as other whatever party code the SOS gives them. In 2022 the SOS coded write-in Eliseo Luna (CD2) "DEM", and the FEC counts him as W. Votes are summed over the three "United States Representative" contests.

Small-count suppression ("*") — how it was handled

The NM county breakdown shows * in place of some small counts. - Chaves County, Gabriel Vasquez (DEM, CD2): this is the only * cell for that candidate. Its value therefore comes from exact arithmetic: the SOS statewide district total minus the sum of the other counties. That gives 1 vote in 2022 (96,986 − 96,985) and 3 votes in 2026 (123,737 − 123,734). These values are included in d22 and d26 for Chaves. - 2022 write-ins: Victoria Gonzales (CD1, 58 votes) is suppressed in 8 counties, which together hold 3 hidden votes. Eliseo Luna (CD2, 51 votes) is suppressed in 11 counties, which together hold 11 hidden votes. Those votes cannot be assigned to counties, so o22 is blank for the 17 counties with any suppressed write-in cell: Catron, Chaves, Cibola, De Baca, Eddy, Guadalupe, Hidalgo, Lea, Lincoln, Luna, McKinley, Otero, Santa Fe, Sierra, Socorro, Torrance, Valencia. The −19 gap is those 14 hidden votes plus 5 known Luna votes in Otero, which was blanked because its CD1 write-in cell is suppressed.
