The Latest: 2 key New Mexico counties still counting votes
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on the midterm election in New Mexico (all times local):
12:30 p.m.
Two key New Mexico counties are still counting ballots in a closely watched U.S. House race in southern New Mexico.
New Mexico Secretary of State spokesman Alex Curtas said Wednesday that Dona Ana County still needs to count around 4,000 absentee ballots and submit 4,000 other votes.
In addition, Curtas says Cibola County officials also are "rerunning" ballots on slow machines.
Republican Yvette Herrell and Democrat Xochitl Torres Small remain locked in a tight race for U.S. House seat in southern New Mexico that is still too close to call.
It remains unclear when those outstanding ballots will be reported.
