One of my New Mexico colleagues asked, "What are ballot verification procedures?"

What, indeed. She also commented that this article from one of our local TV stations, is really not very informative. Those of us who worked the polls know that the network for voter registrants is not used at the polls, and voters are checked in with good old paper-based lists. In the small precinct I worked (530 registered voters), we had two provisional ballot voters whose names were not in the registration list in the precinct or in the county clerk's office. Both of those voters believed that they were registered. One of those provisional voters had documented proof that she was registered to vote in the Dem primary. So clerical errors or something are still lurking about.
