| Albuquerque, February 2–The following is a statement released from the Republican Party of New Mexico regarding the 2020 Republican electors: The media have consistently hyped up the actions by Republican electors in New Mexico on December 14th, 2020. The electors had nothing to do with January 6th. They did NOTHING illegal or sinister. There was no deception, no fraud and no felony. The electors were not fake or fraudulent. They were casting votes in the event that standing legal challenges prevailed and changed the outcome of the election. The electoral certificate clearly states that fact. It reads: “We, the undersigned, (electors) on the understanding that it might later be determined that we are the duly elected and qualified Electors for President and Vice President of the United States of America from the State of New Mexico, do hereby certify the following…we convened… assembled…and proceeded to vote” for Donald Trump and Michael Pence. In short, if there were a turnover in the election, then we cast our votes for Donald Trump. This entire media blitz surrounding the electors has been orchestrated by Democrats. It is merely Democrats doing what Democrats do best – change the subject from a miserable performance by President Biden, the Democrats in Congress and in New Mexico. The question must be asked “Why is this witch-hunt happening?” The election has been settled. President Joe Biden has been in office more than a year. The harassment of law-abiding and upstanding, civic-minded people in our community should not be tolerated in a free society. RPNM calls on Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver to speak up and tell the truth about the conversation that she had with the elector representative on Dec 14th. She knows laws were not broken, and we call on her to do the right thing. |
