Republican commission refuses to certify New Mexico primary vote

GOP claims without evidence Dominion voting machines cannot be trusted, delaying results in rural Otero county

New Mexico's secretary of state on Tuesday asked the state supreme court to order the Republican-led commission of rural Otero county to certify primary election results after it refused to do so over distrust of Dominion vote-tallying machines.

The request by Maggie Toulouse Olive, a Democrat, came a day after the three-member Otero county commission, in its role as a county canvassing board, voted unanimously against certifying the results of the 7 June primary without raising specific concerns about discrepancies.
