I'm posting below election results for my district for last 5 presidential races.

Election results from presidential races
Year Office Result
2000 President Gore 48 - 47%
2004 President Kerry 51 - 48%
2008 President Obama 60 - 40%
2012 President Obama 55% - 40%
2016 President Clinton 52% - 35%

District includes almost all of Albuquerque.
I think it's interesting to note 1) Clinton's margin, 2) the percentage who elected to vote
for 3rd parties.

much of the erosion in party-line voters came from the other side of the aisle.

the numbers are fairly steady among Democrats...with that blip when Obama was first elected.

who voted 3rd party in 2016 (versus previous elections). I think both are striking
and add credence to the hanky panky perpetrated in 2016, especially in the midwest.
