If you've been paying real close attention to the vote total box from Super Tuesday's Democratic presidential caucus, you may have noticed an ever-so-slight shift in Hillary Clinton's lead over Barack Obama.

With the completion of Democratic volunteer vote-counters' canvass of regular and absentee votes on Tuesday, a full week after the Super Tuesday vote in New Mexico, Clinton is now leading Obama by 1,121 votes -- her lead was 1,123 before yesterday's updated results.

But that still leaves an untold number of provisional ballots to count.

About 8,000 provisional ballots were "qualified" as of Tuesday -- meaning they were found to have been cast by registered Democrats and could be counted, according to The Associated Press.

But Democratic officials wouldn't say how many more of the 17,726 ballots remained to be qualified, much less added to the final count, the AP reported.

State Democratic Party Chairman Brian Colon insists it will all be done in time for Friday's deadline to certify the Super Tuesday vote.

Meanwhile, Colon told AP he was pleased by the record total of 157,354 ballots -- regular, absentee and provisional -- that were cast in New Mexico on Super Tuesday.

That's a 54 percent increase from the party's first presidential caucus four years ago and a 30 percent higher turnout than the state-run primary contest in 2000, Colon said.
