# of suspect votes/They say the GOP doesn't want newly registered voters - nearly 120,000 of them in the past year - to be allowed easy access to the polls. That's because about 44 percent of them registered as Democrats, the party says, while about 24 percent are Republican and 32 percent unaffiliated.

past history/Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron, a Democrat and the state's top elections official, says the 2003 law does not require those first-time voters to show ID at the polls.
Chaves County Clerk David Kunko and state District Judge Charles Currier - both Republicans - disagree with her.

source of fraud: individual
and employee/And Democrats are falling back on a longstanding argument against voter ID: that it tends to disenfranchise poor, rural, student, Hispanic and Indian voters

who is taking action against/

The challenge to Vigil-Giron's ruling was first brought in Bernalillo County, where Judge Robert Thompson, a Democrat, concluded it would be too disruptive to the election and rule out too many voters to impose the broader ID requirement argued by Republicans.

GOP challengers had better luck in Chaves County and then in Otero County, where GOP judges upheld their broader interpretation.

The secretary of state then took the matter to the Supreme Court, citing the need to have the law applied uniformly throughout the state.
