Beverly Harris of www.blackboxvoting.org asked DailyKos members to look at these numbers from New Mexico:

I have the following questions which I hope loyal Kos readers can help with.
Why is the turnout for Republicans so high?
Can this be explained by distribution of absentee ballots?
Any additional analysis of the data or new data for New Mexico.
