Let me cite a couple of factors (I lived in New Mexico when young, and have had family there for decades).
First, north central New Mexico (and south central Colorado) has a really weird hispanic enclave. When the state (Democrat) party was controlled by conservatives, this area voted Republican. When the parties transitioned, so did the vote in the area.
Second, there are a number of indian reservations in New Mexico, and many of them vote quite conservative.
