County’s tally has tax opposition pulling ahead

With 36 of 108 precincts reporting, and including early voting, Doña Ana County’s unofficial tally has spaceport tax opposition winning by about 3 percent.

The county’s tally has 4,155 votes, or 51.6 percent, opposed to the tax, and 3,892 votes, or 48.4 percent, in favor of it. The county’s Web site doesn’t list the precincts it’s counted, so it’s impossible to figure out which precincts are included in both the county’s and my numbers.

Because of that, at this point, I’m going to stop my count and rely on the county numbers. My newest total included early voting and 20 precincts, and was 3,567 votes, or 50.6 percent, opposed to the tax and 3,484 votes, or 49.4 percent, in favor.
