SANTA FE, N.M. (KRQE) – A prominent figure in New Mexico politics surrounding the events of the 2020 presidential election, Otero County Commission Couy Griffin has been removed from office based on a decision from a New Mexico district court judge. The decision also bars Griffin from holding public office again.
“I was disappointed and shocked,” said Griffin. The plaintiff’s attorneys are calling the decision historic.

And I think you hit the nail right on the head. I think this is a little test to see if people will accept the premise that a judge is able to revoke someone’s right to run for an election. The ultimate goal the big test of course will be Trump.
This legal ruling by a State Judge in New Mexico is yet another judge trying look cool at the local democrat/marxist cocktail parties.
In my not so humble and lay opinion, this ruling is so preposterous that it will likely get set aside and never even see an appeals court and ultimately be disposed of in a de novo hearing/trial.
Exactly!
If the GOP lawyers continue to say nothing, its open season on any elected GOP.
Appealable to the Federal circuit at all?
Vote for Couy Griffin.
