Land of Action and Election Watchers Seek Immediate Court Order to Admit Watchers to Santa Fe County Polls
šŸ“£
Below is a short media advisory and a longer press release from Land of Action with information about the lawsuit we filed yesterday to have the Santa Fe County Clerk permit Santa Fe County voters to have the same election protections Land of Action is providing New Mexicans in multiple other counties throughout the state.

If you simply want to read the complaint, it is here.

ā€œElection watching is a vital part of election protection. New Mexico has good law on the books stating that duly appointed watchers may serve anywhere in the state. There is no reason one county should be deprived of election protection on the whim of an individual Clerk,ā€ said Heidi Li Feldman, founder and leader of Land of Action. ā€œEarly voting is already underway, more polling places open tomorrow. Lost opportunities to watch cannot be undone after the fact.ā€
