| Rio Rancho, NM, March 1—RPNM has learned that absentee ballots are being rejected in today’s municipal elections in Rio Rancho. These ballots require photo IDs, and that’s not being done properly. The Rio Rancho City Clerk confirms there have been 41 absentee ballots so far that have been turned down. If voters receive a rejection letter they are being asked to go into the City Clerk’s Office at 3200 Civic Center Drive NE, Suite 150, Rio Rancho, NM, 87144. These ballot rejections show once again the need for proper ID and again demonstrate the ease with which election fraud can happen. If a voter needs to verify that an absentee ballot is valid, he/she may call the City Clerk at: 505-896-8708. The deadline to validate a rejected absentee ballot to ensure your vote will be counted is Thursday, March 3 at 4pm. RPNM again continues to fight for election integrity. Voters in the Rio Rancho election are choosing their mayor, councilors and deciding Ballot Questions. |

Too bad for real Republicans that Mr. Curtis misinterpreted the meaning of these rejected ballots. He thinks “These ballot rejections show once again the need for proper ID and again demonstrate the ease with which election fraud can happen.” This is just parroting of Trump’s talking points and does not accord with the facts he himself cited.
What these 41 ballot rejections (only 41!) actually show is that most voters did it right and that the system caught those that did not. The facts show that fraudulent voting would have been very difficult if anyone tried it.
When it comes down to it, I’m sure Mr. Curtis believes these forty-one (only 41!) voters made honest mistakes and were not trying to commit fraud, which makes me wonder why he made such pathetic claims. Genuine Republicans probably are embarrassed by this kind of rhetoric.
(Congratulations to the city clerk for working with them to verify their authenticity and make sure real voters voted.)
Obviously one who has never been turned down the right to vote. Go back where you came from!!
Denied the right to vote and register in Colfax county and Bernalillo county.
Only 41?
41 rejected out of how many accepted?
41 doesn’t look like much but it really depends on the total absentee ballots received.
You haven’t done a good job of providing the facts.
