The governing commission in Otero County refused to certify the local results of the state’s June 7 primary because of unspecified concerns with the equipment.
The secretary of state’s office asked the attorney general to investigate the Otero County commission for possible violations of state election and government ethics laws. That came after the state Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the county commission to certify its election results.
Otero County Attorney Roy Nichols said an emergency meeting of the commission is scheduled for Friday, ahead of the state’s certification deadline. He said he could not speak for the commissioners and it’s unclear whether they will vote to certify the results. If they don’t, he said it would be possible for state officials to pursue election code violations against them.So far, all but 10 of New Mexico’s 33 counties have certified their results from the statewide primary.
There is no evidence of widespread fraud or manipulation of voting equipment in the 2020 election, and election experts say the refusal to certify results of free and fair elections threatens the democratic process.
