TWO DAYS AFTER SUPER TUESDAY, AND THE VOTE COUNTING FOR NEW MEXICO'S DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS IS FAR FROM OVER. EARLIER TODAY... HILLARY CLINTON LED BARACK OBAMA BY 11-HUNDRED VOTES... WITH 17-THOUSAND PROVISIONAL BALLOTS STILL UNCOUNTED. NOW, NEW MEXICO DEMOCRATS ARE RE-CHECKING EVERY BALLOT CAST IN TUESDAY'S TROUBLE-FILLED CAUCUS -- BEFORE THEY EVEN GET TO THOSE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS. STUART DYSON IS LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST HEIGHTS WHERE THE BIG JOB GOT UNDER WAY THIS MORNING. WILL HILLARY CLINTON HOLD ON TO HER LEAD OVER BARACK OBAMA - OR WILL THE TIDE TURN - NOW WE WON'T KNOW FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS AS A BIG JOB JUST GOT BIGGER. MORE THAN 17 THOUSAND PROVISIONAL BALLOTS - QUESTIONABLE - IFFY BALLOTS CAST TUESDAY - WILL HAVE TO WAIT. FIRST DEMOCRATS WILL CHECK 155 THOUSAND PAPER BALLOTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN COUNTED ONCE. ' We've already started scanning ballots to verify those ballots that were cast all over the state of New Mexico - we'll continue throughout the process today - I suspect that by tomorrow we'll have completed the verification of the regular ballots cast in this election.' THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL THE HARDER WORK OF CHECKING THE PROVISIONAL BALLOTS BEGIN - THESE ARE SPECIAL BALLOTS GIVEN TO PEOPLE WHO VOTED AT THE WRONG LOCATION - GOT AN ABSENTEE BALLOT BUT SHOWED UP ON ELECTION DAY INSTEAD - THAT TYPE OF THING - CHECKING PROCESS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE SURE NOBODY VOTES MORE THAN ONCE. ONE THING IS FOR SURE - NEW MEXICO WILL BE THE LAST OF THE 24 STATES VOTING ON SUPER DUPER TUESDAY TO FINALLY REPORT A WINNER - ALL THE OTHERS HAD THEIR RESULTS IN BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
