On April 13, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled 3-1 that State Representative Dianne Hamilton (R-Silver City) should remain on the June 5 Republican primary ballot, as a candidate for re-election. The Court did not explain its reasoning. The case is Fortenberry v Hamilton, no. 33,563.
See this story, which explains why Hamilton’s petition was challenged. Besides omitting the district number on some of her petition sheets, it is alleged that she didn’t really have the needed 70 valid signatures. The challenger asserted that some of the signers were not registered Republicans, or else did not register to vote until after they signed her petition.

Our team (the USA Parliament team) is like 1000 basketball coaches, and we are helping everyone improve. Even though Obama was not nominated to the team, he’s a voter, and we’re trying to sway him to our side, to support a woman for president.
I am trying to win his and his supporters’ votes by being respectful to everyone so that the Libertarian Party will garner more votes by voting for my name. And we welcome everyone as one coordinated unit for the good of the all.
I am kicking off an election and voter registration drive on 4/20/2012 that will last through 8/5/2012, and I’d like to invite everyone to participate.
