New Mexico voters are bracing for an uncertain political future amid last-minute overtures from presidential candidates and aggressive local campaigning to decide the balance of power in the state Legislature.
Monday provided an interlude between election day and several weeks of balloting at early voting centers and county clerk offices.
Donald Trump, running mate Mike Pence and Donald Trump Jr. have visited New Mexico in quick succession amid a spree of ad buys on local network television by the Republican ticket and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Trump insists he is in close competition for the state's five electoral votes in a state that sided heavily with Barack Obama. Democrats hold the advantage in terms of voter registration, while Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is undermining easy predictions in his home state.
