So get this. The R's were told "Support SB 6 and you will not get SB 8." Well, how about neither of them? SB 144 is... yes... wait for it... Worse. It removes the perjury statement from absentee ballots.
New Mexico is set to STOP all voter fraud on absentee ballots because the definition changes. Think about this. What is the basis for a charge on absentee ballots? It's the perjury statement. If there is no perjury statement, there cannot be a charge.
So much for all the arguments from Senator Pirtle, Rep. Nibert and Senator Diamond. All out the window. Daniel Ivey-Soto moves all this stuff around. D's get everything they want. Do the R's actually force a serious discussion? No. Not a serious one.
Oh yeah, it includes definition changes to "felons". Let's not forget this trio of bills removes "citizen" in favor of "qualified resident". It will not be long before California legislators come here for seminars on how to be Progressive. And we have R sponsorship here.

to trash Poll Challengers, we do NOT have to sponsor the bill. Period. 2) Call your State Senator today and ask them to OPPOSE SB 6. There are way too many bad parts to this bill.

I had a discussion with Sen. Brandt about 2 weeks ago to ADDING Signature Verification to any
election integrity bill. This action would force a discussion about WHO is actually voting. After all is said and done, isn’t that the crux of the matter? New Mexico Election Integrity Project wants every qualified elector to be able to cast their ballot and have it counted.
No one else. A qualified elector is who the legislature wants to vote.

SB 6 has Republican sponsors. Sen. Ivey-Soto has coopted three more Republicans. Diamond, Lane and Nibert. Removing challengers from the process is a major step AWAY from transparency. And these three

@benraylujan sends me an email making claims about Election Integrity. Here's what he said.
"TODD,
John Lewis said it best —“Democracy is not a state. It is an act.”
I think about those wise words often, but right now in Congress and across America, they ring more true than any
other time I’ve been in Washington.
In 2020, voters turned out in record numbers to reject the Trump presidency and flip the Senate. But Republicans are ramping up voter suppression to try to stop the will of the people from ever happening again.
Last year alone, 19
Republican-led states across the country passed 33 bills that restrict the right to vote. Meanwhile, here in Congress, Republicans have used the filibuster to obstruct every single voting rights bill that Senate Democrats have introduced.
It’s time to leave it all on the field,

Mr. Jennings, I read your work often. I missed the fact that Brenner was issued a Cease and Desist Order from the company doing the training. Important facts left out of this story. Happy to hear you spent an hour on Critical Race Theory in Rio Rancho. The district has spent
much more time than that. Here are few more questions to ask: 1) Let's assume that CRT is not being taught. Why is there training material for teachers being kept from the public? What are they actually trying to hide? It would seem that a Cease and Desist Order would be the
reason you could not see the evidence Brenner discussed. 2) What is the point of Gary Trip providing cover to the school administration in/ an Op/Ed? 3) Why are proponents of CRT telling people that the theory is malleable? They have changed the name of the programs.

So this is a response from @benraylujan's Office regarding education. (Note this is on "Education".)_______
Dear Mr. Hathorne,
Thank you for contacting my Washington, D.C. office. Keeping in contact with my constituents is very important to me, and I appreciate the
opportunity to engage with you on such an important topic.

@SteveDeaceShow Serious props. You guys truly have my respect. Your mission of teaching Christians how to live by our beliefs is a worthy endeavor. We listen daily. Ever since your RedState appearance. TY. @DeaceProducer @DeaceOnline
My wife is an ADF attorney and preaches your messages to me every morning. Can't tell you how many times she cites you as the evidence of her positions on public policy are correct. Your book arrived yesterday. We have found some resources before you have presented them.
There are plenty of sources you l show us. We have an opportunity to use these resources in court. Thank you for the validation for what we know to be true. You personify my definition of knowledge: accurate information, properly acquired, diligently applied to a productive goal.

“I’m truly honored to have been chosen to serve on this important committee. I believe election integrity is the core issue moving into the 2022 midterm elections. Voters who do not have faith in the election process will not want to participate. It’s imperative that we restore
the voters’ trust in our political process. Fair and honest elections are key to helping our party win vital races and to improve the lives of constituents here in New Mexico and around the nation.” — Committeewoman Tina Dziuk newmexico.gop/2021/02/17/rnc…
We are expecting that Ms. Dziuk will be very interested in SB 454. A comparison of the recent GA election reform law show huge gaps with New Mexico's "comprehensive" overhaul. This will likely come up in the special session. No seriously folks. It won't just be about marijuana
