New Mexico secretary of state sues county commission over refusal to certify primary results

We will be having more issues if more TFG election deniers are elected to office. Here some TFG idiots are refusing to certify some election results because they believe the Big Lie and do not trust Dominion voting machines



https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/14/politics/new-mexico-primary-results-otero-county-certification/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_source=twCNNp&utm_content=2022-06-15T13%3A21%3A06&utm_medium=social

New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver on Tuesday asked the state Supreme Court to order a three-member county commission to certify the results of the June 7 primary elections in Otero County -- after commission members refused to do so this week, citing concerns about Dominion vote-counting machines.

The action by the Otero County Commission is one of the first examples of a county blocking the certification of results in the 2022 election cycle, and Oliver, a Democrat, warned of the potential for similar moves in other New Mexico communities.

In a statement, Oliver said the Otero County Commissioners were "appeasing unfounded conspiracy theories and potentially nullifying the votes of every Otero County voter who participated in the primary" with their action.....

In her filing with the state Supreme Court, Oliver warned that other New Mexico counties also may balk at certifying their primary results in the days ahead, citing a "statewide attempt to influence other county canvassing boards."

"We assume other counties will be noncompliant with this provision which jeopardizes the general election ballot for all candidates," the filing said.

There will be a ton of these lawsuits if too many TFG supporters who back the Big Lie are elected to office

There are grifters using our county to produce propaganda for their own fundraising efforts.
The Republican Party practically owns the Sheriff Office. Chair of Republican Party tried to use Sheriffs to remove me from legally electioneering.
This is Cowboys for Trump friends making money from us taxpayers.
They are indescribably evil.
I couldn’t run but I recruited others to step up and run against these bastards.
I’ll let DU know more soon.
