SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Early voting is shattering previous records for mid-term elections in New Mexico.
Election regulators said Thursday that early voting surpassed 322,000 ballots the previous day.
That exceeds early in-person and absentee voting of nearly 298,000 in 2010 - the last time there was an open seat for governor. In 2014, about 255,000 people voted early or by absentee ballot.

Registered Democrats accounted about 53 percent of early votes a week before Election Day.
Republicans accounted for 34 percent. Libertarian, minor party and unaffiliated voters accounted for just over 12 percent of votes.
