As an election commissioner in my parish, I can say that the 5 provisional ballots in my precinct were voter cluelessness.

That's just Albuquerque, not the entire state. I am not sure how paranoid it is to wonder about this. It seems to be about 2% of the electorate, which might be a reasonable factor for cluelessness. On the other hand, I know from working the phones that the vast majority of newly registered voters had cards that said see the sunday paper the weekend before the election where it should have said precinct.... Whether what is going on here is just cluelessness, voter and county clerk both, I have not yet decided. I do wonder why it is so hard to register to vote here when we seem to manage to register cars ok...
