Jason Snead, Executive Director of Honest Elections Project Action, released the following statement:
“New Mexico Democrats have decided to follow in Congressional Democrats’ footsteps, jamming through highly partisan election laws that weaken election integrity for partisan gain. Among other things, SB 180 and HB 4 push the state towards all-mail voting by creating a permanent mail voting list, automatically return voting privileges to felons who have not yet completed their full sentences, and mandate error-prone automatic voter registration. Each of these ‘reforms’ are as partisan as they are unwise, and jeopardize voters’ trust in elections. These new laws are a step in the wrong direction for election integrity.”
