Things are busy at election sites across #NewMexico. #LandOfAction has election watchers in the following counties: Rio Arriba, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Bernalillo, Valencia, Luna, Grant, Hidalgo, San Juan. Every time I settle down to do anything non-election -watching related, I get a call, email, or text from the team leaders who are at the election locations. A manifestation of the brisk pace at the polls today.

There are scores of voting locations throughout NM today. Many will have no issues. But the only we can know that is to be cognizant of where there are (potential) problems. Election watchers help County Clerks, NM Sec of State, and the general public know what’s what. 4/4 #LandOfAction #NewMexico

  • in Sandoval County, sheriff was at an election location, not summoned by presiding judge which is the lawful way for law enforcement to be there. Checking with county clerk’s office for more information. 3/ #LandOfAction #NewMexico

My organization, #LandOfAction, has election watchers out across #NewMexico today. Starting at 7 am, I’ve been getting calls about what’s happening on the ground.

  • in rural northern Santa Fe County, a voting location turned away its first voter because the machinery was broken and the poll workers were waiting for IT. Don’t know if the voter was offered an emergency paper ballot, per state law. Subsequent voters were admitted, not sure if machinery was fixed. 1/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/117470236781264261 We won the TRO. Once formalized, probably sometime tomorrow, the Santa Fe County Clerk must admit all Land of Action watchers who have been appointed via the Secretary of State and completed successfully the online training. The County Clerk may not require attendance at her own trainings. #LandofAction #NewMexico #Election

@elaterite@mastoart.social I’m working hard on this here in NM. One aspect is making people feel confident about going to the polls. My organization, #LandofAction is helping grassroots progressives be election watchers. See https://vimeo.com/1216231434?fl=tl&fe=ec Also working on turnout with a team called Free and Fair Elections NM 2026.
