ALBUQUERQUE – In a unanimous ruling (5-0) today, the New Mexico Supreme Court voted to prohibit Secretary of State Maggie Tolouse Oliver from moving forward with the Democrats’ corrupt attempt to rig elections by implementing straight ticket voting. The Supreme Court issued its decision in response to an emergency petition for Writ of Mandamus filed by the Republican Party of New Mexico, Unite New Mexico, the Libertarian Party of New Mexico, the Elect Liberty PAC, and Democratic candidate Heather Nordquist.
“Democratic leaders attempted a corrupt, partisan power grab in order to rig elections and undermine our system of democracy,” said RPNM Chairman Ryan Cangiolosi. “The Secretary of State’s move to stack the deck in favor of her party just months before Election Day was so brazen that it was called an act of ‘vicious partisanship’ by a State Senator from her own party. Our democracy is built on the principle of free and fair elections, not corrupt partisan maneuvering that leads to one-party control.”
“This is what you get from a political party that cares about power instead of people. Over and over, Democrats have attempted to rig elections in favor of their preferred candidates. They failed this time because the Supreme Court recognized that New Mexicans deserve leaders who will fight for our democracy instead of undermining it for their personal benefit.”
