Sorry to report, cap'n, but in New Mexico none of them could vote. Kirk would strike up a conversation with one of our southwestern beauties, and before he even got to the sign-in table they would be off to the nearest hotel... Spock would attempt a mind-meld with Gov. Richardson, and the pure Klingon viciousness would paralyze the poor Vulcan... Bones would realize that half of the people on the voter rolls are dead, and would spend all day trying to revive them. By the time he realized that most of them have already been *buried*, it would be too late to get back in line... Scotty would get side-tracked (pardon the pun) by trying to fix the Rail Runner train between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and would throw himself in the anti-matter tube once he realized how broke it really is... Checkov, Uhura, and Sulu are, unfortunately, just the wrong minority types to count in NM - they would be told by the Secretary of State that without a photo id they will not be allowed into the polling place.
