According to an email sent by New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver to county clerks, she is relying on an expected spread of COVID-19 to push through partisan election changes in the upcoming special session of the Legislature starting on June 18th.
In the email obtained by the New Mexico House Republicans, Toulouse Oliver writes, I (and others) have been working closely with the Governor and her staff to ensure that she will place election matters on the call for the special session.
I know we all felt hamstrung by the current Election Code during the Primary and, given those limitations (and the likely budgetary implications) heading into the fall when we may have a resurgence of the virus, I think she understands that we as election administrators need more flexibility to manage the election effectively this fall, continued Toulouse Oliver.
Toulouse Oliver also said the bill she is working with Democrat Sen. Daniel Ivey-Soto on to push for election changes, will closely reflect an April letter signed by her and multiple county clerks urging for an all mail-in primary election, with the option for voters to hand-deliver their absentee ballots and the in-person voting options for those with physical disabilities, with COVID-19 as the reason.
According to the latest numbers, COVID-19 has been on a downward decline nationwide, with New Mexicos cases increasing by over 50%.
The New Mexico House Republicans blasted Toulouse Oliver for utilizing the health pandemic to force through an all mail-in election, writing, If you thought [New Mexico Democrats] would pass up an opportunity to hyper-politicize our budget instead of focusing solely on solving the economic crisis CREATED by the forced shutdown, YOUD BE MISTAKEN.

This story reminds of this story, and I bet they’re working together. Probably working with blm and antifassholes, and the whole Cabal of Evil.
This Jarret story probably deserves its own post but I am so under the weather and not up for being an OP.
If anyone finds this interesting have at it.
(this an excerpt minus most editorial comments)
“Valerie Jarrett, former White House whisperer for the Barack Obama administration, said in an MSNBC television interview that vote-by-mail should be the way to go in each and every state for elections this November. And forever after, for that matter.
And with that, the left tipped its hat to its never let a crisis go to waste COVID-19 endgame.
This week, said Jarrett, as Breitbart reported, we launched Civic Cities, where we are working with mayors across the country.
Civic Cities is the lefts latest way of pretending like its working on behalf of the citizens of the United States while actually working to undercut the Constitution, free market and concept of individual rights, and brainwashing the next generation in good old-fashioned socialist collectivism.
Were building Civic Cities across the nation cities which provide the following: Solutions Civics, [that] teaches No-Blame problem solving of government issues to high school students, reads one bullet point from the Citizens Campaign website” .
Yada yada, so on and so forth. No blame is code for no accountability. No accountability for Democrats, that is.
Anyhow, apparently, as part of Civic Cities, youth are being trained to think of voting as an at-home endeavor.
Were working in high schools, Jarrett said, because people who are first-time voters tend to be lifelong voters. We have colleges and universities. We have the business community engaged.
We should have vote-by-mail in every state, she said. We should have early vote in every state. Everybody should be able to go online to register. Why is it leaders are not making it as easy as possible for us to vote as opposed to trying to suppress the vote? Were trying to close the age and the race gap. Were confident that this is a long term plan.
And COVID-19 has provided the perfect platform to spring this long-term vote-from-home plan into effect.
This COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the weaknesses in government and leadership, Jarrett said.
Vote-by-mail has not been in any way an indicator of vote fraud, Jarrett said.
And by that, she meant, in typical Democrat-slash-Orwellian-speak: Vote-by-mail is highly susceptible to fraud. And thanks to COVID-19, Democrats have a chance to usher in an electoral system rife with fraud they can exploit for decades to come”
I told my husband that if it comes to civil war we need to take over state and county offices first and conduct audits.
Seriously, we don’t waant to hurt anyone but we can’t sit back forever and let them steal our country.
In the primary they targeted 4 pro-life Democrats and got rid of 3 of them and I’m pretty damn sure they did it fraudulently, kind of like Xochitil Small beat Herrell last election.
God-willing Biden will choose Lujan as his running mate but that won’t cure our Dim problem.
I am guessing as a result the these changes, we can expect 2X the number of uncounted ballots being found in the Bernalillo courthouse.
How long has it been since we have had a Secretary of State who wasn’t either a corrupt idiot, or a Leftist activist that wants to destroy the republic, (or both)?
“Manage the election”, indeed!
