SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry has conceded, [George W.] Bush has laid out his plans for a second term and New Mexico still does not know who won the election in the sparsely populated state.
New Mexico is the only state that does not have a clear-cut winner in the presidential vote, and state officials were red-faced over the slow count. The state had vowed to speed up counting ballots after it took about a month to tally the vote in the 2000 presidential race, where Democrat Al Gore beat Bush by 366 votes.
