ALBUQUERQUE – On the very day that New Mexico electors met in Santa Fe to formally cast New Mexico's electoral votes for president, President Donald Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit over New Mexico's use of drop boxes in the 2020 elections.

The federal lawsuit claims that New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver violated state election code by permitting voters to deposit completed absentee ballots in drop boxes at voting locations rather than handing them to the location's presiding judge in person.

Drop boxes were installed around the state this fall using federal funding from the CARES Act in an effort to reduce numbers of voters congregating at voting locations in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Republican Party of New Mexico sued over the state's use of drop boxes in October, demanding video monitoring for all drop boxes and accusing two county clerks of lax security measures. The party withdrew its complaint after Toulouse Oliver's office reiterated previously issued guidance to county clerks on their use.

.... rather than handing them to the location's presiding judge in person.

That poor judge. He’d have to be in a full bio suit. And imagine the bs he’d have to listen to every time he needed a nature break.

Drop boxes was a good decision.
