In the 2021 local election, I went with a friend to a local polling place to electioneer. New Mexico state law allows electioneering as long as you are not within 100 ft of the door the voters use. While exercising my right, the chair of the Republican party, Amy Barela, called the sheriff on me, and rallied others to do the same, saying I was harassing and intimidating voters. She filed a false report with the police, and they believed her even though she had not been to the polling place when she called the sheriff. Here is video of my encounter with them, and the police report where no illegal activity was observed. In fact, after measuring from the door we were allowed to be closer than we were before the complaint!
Amy Barela is DUer Stephanie DuBoiss opponent as they run to replace Cowboys for Trump Couy Griffin, our resident insurrectionist county commissioner. Amy attempted to use the sheriffs office to intimidate democrats with a false report that she was never held accountable for. She wasnt afraid to abuse her influence and power as chair of the Republican Part of Otero County and she isnt going to be afraid to abuse it if she wins the county commission seat. If you think Griffin is abusing his power by having constituents thrown out at meetings for exercising their rights, its going to be a whole lot worse if Amy gets in. She helped Couy sell our county the Griffins fake audit contract.
Earlier this year Amy was given a ticket for leaving a dog out in the freezing cold during the few days we had snow here. Magically, that ticket was changed over to her husbands name and then dropped completely by the city. More abuse of her power that will only be amplified when she controls the county commission from within. No woman should be shamed by her husbands crimes, but if you are interested in what the nmcourts.com says about Amys husband Jean Paul Barela, thats on you.
Amy is also an election denier. Here she is at the latest county meeting where known grifter & Pillow guys friend David and Erin Clements presented their findings from their audit of the 2020 election.
Please consider helping DUer Stephanie and I fight the good fight.

It would be great if you could get her charged with a false police report.

I'm assuming there's no way to prove she knowingly did so, though.
Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!
Abort the GOP -- sticking the message

like you said, theres no way of proving it. They try to intimidate us (Democrats, progressives, liberals) by every means possible.
I wont back down.
