I never really understood why NM always went blue? Getting infected by Colorado?

Whites are a minority there. Huge Mexican and Indigenous population. Lots of progressive retirees and hippies in Santa Fe, which is sorta like if New Orleans didn’t have any of it’s suburbs, the 9th Ward, or The East. Albuquerque is a lot like Baton Rouge, and not in a good way. There’s some oil field baws and scientists is the East, but most of the rural areas of the state are below 3rd world poverty, some of the most depressing places on Earth.
