The polls open in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, later this morning for a special referendum on a gross receipts tax to help pay for the development of Spaceport America. According to today’s Las Cruces Sun-News, local officials expect a close election, although there’s been no published opinion polling on the proposal and election officials said they didn’t have “the faintest clue” just how many people would turn out to the polls. Over four percent of county voters have already cast their vote through absentee ballots or early voting. The polls are open in the county from 7 am to 7 pm MDT (9 am to 9 pm EDT).
