Only 228 votes separate Obama and Clinton

The newest update from KOAT-TV in Albuquerque has Barack Obama narrowly beating Hillary Clinton, 63,030 votes to 62,802 votes, with 95 percent of precincts reporting.

That’s a difference of 228 votes out of 125,832 cast.

I can’t tell you which counties are yet to be counted. The TV station is way ahead of the state Democratic Party’s Web site on the vote count, but the station doesn’t break it down by county.

If the margin stays that tight, this race won’t be decided until after the state party deals with the provisional ballots. There are several thousand that won’t be considered until later today.
