THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. WE MUST STOP ELECTION FRAUD! RPNM AND LAS CRUCES MAYOR CANDIDATE SUE SECRETARY OF STATE AND DONA ANA COUNTY CLERK OVER ABSENTEE BALLOTS
The RPNM and Las Cruces mayoral candidate Mike Tellez await a ruling after they filed suit this past week against New Mexico’s Secretary of State, the Dona Ana County Clerk and the County’s Absent Voter Precinct Board. The RPNM and Tellez claim the defendants are ignoring a 2019 law that requires absentee voters to provide their name, address and year of birth. The defendants knew that these requirements weren’t met, but still allowed the votes to be counted.
The RPNM wants an injunction to stop the counting of absentee ballots.
The Party is also asking for a declaratory judgment to clarify the meaning of the 2019 changes to the statute. It wants the court to set a uniform statewide standard for qualifying and counting absentee votes for this non-partisan election and future ones.
“What’s happening in Dona Ana County is wrong and setting a bad precedent for future elections. Our Party must stand up to this. People who vote illegally is hurting the integrity of the system. We as a Party must raise of red flag when we see people ignoring voting laws,” said Steve Pearce, RPNM Chairman. “It’s our duty to call on the State to fix these problems.”

2. NEW MEXICO SECRETARY OF STATE DROPS OUT OF U.S. SENATE RACE
Poor Maggie Toulouse Oliver ([link removed]) .
Looks like the Democrat Secretary of State simply couldn't get the backing from the big Dems in Washington. She only raised $85,000 to Rep. Ben Ray Lujan's $1.6 million.
But don’t fret….she'll have plenty of time now to fight the RPNM which has called her out for allowing illegal voting in Dona Ana County!

3. YOUR NEW MEXICO TAX DOLLARS DOWN THE GUTTER!
How about this?
According to KOB-TV, ([link removed]) a state agency spent nearly $12,000 on a meeting that included laser tag, bowling and arcade games! On Sept. 26, more than 100 New Mexico Workers’ Compensation Administration employees played hard during what was called training and team-building.
Huh?
“It’s absolutely inappropriate,” said Democrat Rep. Patty Lundstrom, chair of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee.

4. MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT STATE GOVERNMENT SPENDING
From the AP ([link removed]) :
New Mexico likely isn’t getting the best bang for its buck since it lacks the personnel and technology needed to adequately track nearly $2 billion in government spending.
Legislative analysts have found that some state agencies are unnecessarily buying high-end vehicles, laptops, drones and other goods and are forgoing bulk purchasing and additional negotiations that would otherwise result in discounts.
The report states that some price agreements allow agencies to purchase niche products and services without the necessary expertise to judge if that product or service is what the agency really needs.

4. OTHER NEW MEXICO NEWS BRIEFS
* Another setback for Democrat State Senator charged with DWI. ([link removed]) A New Mexico judge has rejected state Sen. Richard Martinez’s request for a jury trial in a drunken driving case clearing the way for a trial scheduled to begin later this month. Martinez says he does not plan to resign from the Legislature, even if he’s convicted.
* Trump economic polices showing more signs of success ([link removed]) . The U.S. announced this past week that it added more than 128,000 jobs in October. That was better than what economists had forecasted. It’s another signal that White House policies are helping the national and New Mexico economy.
* New Mexico set to harvest the National Christmas Tree at the U.S. Capitol ([link removed]) . Forest officials in New Mexico are ready to harvest a towering blue spruce that will serve as this year’s Christmas tree in front of the U.S. Capitol. It almost didn't happen because of the lawsuit filed by a left-wing environmental group that temporarily put a stop to logging in NM's national forests.
