An unknown number of delegates at the Democrat Pre-Primary Convention cast protest ballots against incumbent Rep Martin Heinrich by "writing in"Republican Jon Barela's name.
The actual number of ballots cast for Barela is being kept
secret by Democrat Party leadership.
The protesters believe that Heinrich is a Socialist who has lost touch with his party and, they are entitled to their opinion.
If "the system" allows them no means of dissent, then their dissent outside the box is not only legitimate, but critical to the process.
State Democratic Party Chairman Javier Gonzales doesn't see it that way.
"What a few fringe individuals who have a history of supporting Republican candidates did is nothing more than a cheap and juvenile prank."OK, Javier, what ever.
