Canvassing Board Voted Unanimously Not to Certify 2022 Election On Basis of 2020 Election Findings (NM)

In June 2022, the three‑member Otero County Commission, acting as the county canvassing board, voted unanimously not to certify the June 7 primary election results. Commissioners cited “distrust of Dominion vote‑tallying machines” and dissatisfaction with the state’s prior audit of the 2020 results as their basis. Underscores need for transparency in the conduct of elections in order to promote trust in our election systems.
