New Mexico Will Permit a Recount of Libertarian Primary Write-ins for Governor

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Richard Winger

The New Mexico Libertarian Party has received permission to pay for a recount of its primary write-ins for Governor. The party had no candidate for Governor on the primary ballot, but it had a write-in candidate. The initial tally said he failed to poll as many as 230 write-ins, which is the minimum number needed for a valid nomination. See this story. The recount is costing the party $8,500.

This is a step forward- when the Libs asked for a recount of the general election Presidential ballots in 2004, they were illegally denied the recount.

If the party had put the word out to their email list prior to the commencement of early voting of just who the write-in candidates were this would probably be unnecessary.
