New Mexico county official convicted of January 6 trespassing refuses to certify 2022 primary result

A New Mexico county commissioner, awaiting sentencing for his January 6 conviction, said Thursday that he plans to defy a state Supreme Court order and will not vote to certify the results of a recent primary election in a flareup over vote-tallying machines that’s drawing attention and alarm from national voting rights advocates.

“I’m not planning to move off my position,” Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin said in a telephone interview with CNN on Thursday. “Why have a commission if we just get overridden by the court system?”

The State Supreme Court on Wednesday, acting on an emergency request from New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a Democrat, ordered the Otero County commissioners to certify the primary results by Friday – the statutory deadline for county certification. The commissioners had declined to do so earlier in the week, citing distrust of Dominion voting machines.

1. Why is a convict in charge of elections? nt

[comradebillyboy]

4. He's not, the County Clerk is and she wants the election

certified. The County Commissioners are the canvassing board that is supposed to verify the results are accurate. The Commission is refusing to do that despite having no evidence of any wrongdoing. Their actions are illegal under NM state law.

2. Not fascism. Stupidity.

3. So my question is

Does it take a UNANIMOUS vote to certify the election?

[Thomas Hurt]

6. Does it take a unanimous vote to certify?...how many of the other commissioners...

are willing to go to jail to stand up for the delusional fantasies.

7. Despicable that the one commissioner said "are they gonna send us to the pokey"

This is deja vu and these commissioners have no solid proof of fraud.
