New Mexico - Can someone tell me?

I'm wanting to know the same thing. I was laughing when I seen that.

Im getting obama 54% mccain 45% off political dashboard on yahoo.com http://www.koat.com/index.html also the same from albq,nm abc news.

Well currently Obama is leading in New Mexico. However, with such a small difference, and with only 10% of precincts reporting, I'm kind of wondering where they're pulling this Obama victory from as well.

As you can see, the percentages are a lot different now--as I write this, it's 56%/43% with Obama winning. The polls (and I don't really mean exit polls, they are pretty useless overall) showed where things would more or less be running up to the election, and they called it right. FWIW, Fivethirtyeight had New Mexico projected to have a 100% chance of being won by Obama. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/3003361728_990836258d_o.png )

What you officially see in numbers on the TV is the so far officially confirmed number from the respective reporting precincts. Then they also get reports in that have not been officially confirmed yet. That combined with the exit polls, this gives them an idea how the vote will be. Mostly they are right, but sometimes they have to change a states color, especially where the race is close.

It is called the electoral college. Maybe this will help... http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/about.html
