Are We Florida or New Mexico? Voting Heats Up with Threats of Dropping Voters from the Rolls II

Former elections director says SOS allegations ‘premature’

By Gwyneth Doland

A former New Mexico elections director says it’s too soon for Secretary of State Dianna Duran to claim she’s found of foreign nationals voting in New Mexico elections.

“This is a good start…but her information is incomplete and it’s premature to be releasing information at this time,” Ivey-Soto said today.

The Motor Vehicle Department’s database includes people who got driver’s licenses without using a Social Security number but could be legally allowed to vote, Ivey-Soto said,

“There are people in New Mexico who have a firm belief that New Mexico elections are fraught with fraud, when in fact, any time anyone provides details and we are able to investigate, it turns out not to have been fraud. And this simply perpetuates these myths,” Ivey-Soto said.
