Volunteers, high Democratic enthusiasm help drive Dona Ana County's early vote surge

Early voting in one key southern New Mexico county is not only outpacing past years, it is so far beating out all other counties in the state.

Through the end of Monday, 4,304 Doña Ana County voters already cast their ballots either by early in-person voting or by returning absentee ballots.

And Democrats are happy, as 56.9 percent of those voters are Democrats. In 2016, 50.28 percent of early and absentee voters were Democrats.

Statewide, 22,702 voters have already cast ballots. Of those, 55.6 percent are Democrats, compared to 32.7 percent Republicans.

In the back of my mind, I worry that it's the other side showing up. I always hate the final two weeks of a campaign.
