Razor-thin margins in six primary races triggered New Mexico’s automatic recount law this summer. Do you know what happened?
Not a single outcome changed. Not a single race.
New Mexico's election law mandates certain races that fall within a close margin head to an automatic recount. Just like how we use paper ballots, this is part of several features of New Mexico's elections to ensure our elections are secure and the results are transparent. It's a gold-standard practice that other states have followed.
This isn’t just a testament to our voting machines, but to every local election official - both Democrats and Republicans - who works hard every day to make sure the voices of their community are heard and reflected in their government.
Our bipartisan work to use gold-standard transparency practices has made us a national leader in elections. We cannot give in to the baseless fabrication that our elections are somehow rigged or inaccurate. These recounts prove once again how important it is to preserve our election system and protect voting rights for all.
We’re so glad to have you on our side as we fight to protect our free and fair elections in the great state of New Mexico.
