Uncounted ballots in Bernalillo County don't affect results

It was a scramble to count 125 absentee ballots found unopened in the election warehouse Friday evening. 

Bureau of Elections Director Bobbi Shearer says the uncounted ballots, misplaced with opened envelopes, were not significant enough to impact any of the close races. 
Of the 125 ballots, in the race for President, 42 votes went to Barack Obama, 77 went to Mitt Romney and five for Gary Johnson. For U.S. Senate, 41 votes went to Martin Heinrich, 69 for Heather Wilson and three for Jon Barrie. 
Deputy County Clerk Ramon Montoya says he will be meeting with the internal absentee board to try and figure out how 125 ballots were forgotten and never counted in this year's election.
