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.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Deep-seated conspiracy theories about the security of voting machines erupted into heated, angry and at times threatening outbursts Friday as New Mexico counties decided whether to certify results from their recent primary, underscoring the depths of an election crisis that officials fear is foreshadowing darker times ahead for the nation’s democracy.
“The time and place to fight this battle is not by canvassing this election,” Chairman Ryan Schwebach told the crowd. The controversy that began in Otero County boiled over on Friday as commissions in the last of the state’s 33 counties were meeting to decide whether to certify results. At least one of the three Otero County commissioners was unfazed. Commissioner Couy Griffin told CNN that he was not planning to vote for certification.It was not immediately clear what would happen next if Otero and any other county refuses to certify its results.
There is no evidence of widespread fraud or manipulation of voting equipment that could have affected the outcome of the 2020 election. Otero County Clerk Robyn Holmes, a Republican in her fourth term as the county’s lead elections administrator, told The Associated Press that the June 7 election was conducted without problems. Machine tallies at 16 voting centers each matched the number of ballots that were handed out.So far, all but four of the state's 33 counties have certified their results, and no other county officials have said publicly that they intend to vote against certification.
