New Mexico Republican Party Will Try to Nominate Someone for U.S. Senate Via Write-ins at Primary

Posted on by March 10, 2026

Although no one qualified to appear on the New Mexico Republican primary ballot for U.S. Senate this year, the Republican Party is planning to nominate someone by write-in votes in the primary, which is in early June. See this story.

A previous blog post said that write-ins are not allowed in New Mexico primaries for U.S. Senate, but that was incorrect.

New Mexico Republican Party Will Try to Nominate Someone for U.S. Senate Via Write-ins at Primary — 24 Comments

  1. Qualified parties should have alternative methods of ballot qualification to their primary ballots besides nomination petitions, such as nominations by convention, and legislative caucuses.

  3. Does any human reading this seriously believe that President Trump is more tyrannical than, for example, Cho Bai-Din, Killary Klingon, Barack Insane Osama, Cumala Drunkass, or any currently plausible winning 2028 POTUS candidates? Or for that matter the Bushes, Romney’s, Doles, McCain’s etc? If so, try to logically back up that opinion?

  4. The daily beast is of course fake news, but the more relevant fact here is that all these obviously ridiculous lies about Liberator Trump being a “tyrant” are why there have been so many assassination attempts against Him, including again just recently.

    Obviously, the nAZi-666 spambot has no sense of shame, but Richard Winger should know better than to continue enabling further assassination attempts against the President.

  5. Real Facts

    “AZ spambot,

    As always, if President Trump was a tyrant, you would be deprogrammed, your programmers would be in prison, and this website would be taken down.”

    Duh!

  6. The Supreme Leader of Iran was a tyrant. When people demonstrated against him, tens of thousands of them were killed and many more disappeared into secret prisons. Maduro was a tyrant who did similar things. President Trump is a Liberator, the opposite of a tyrant.

    All wars obviously have costs, but so does failure to take down terrorist regimes such as Iran and Venezuela that wage chemical, terror, cyber and other war against us and strive to develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

  9. “Why would a state have two competing libertarian parties?”

    Different folks have received different revelations of the True Libertarian Gospel.

  12. Forever Trump, I want to have forever Trump
    Do you really want Trump as President forever?
    Forever, and ever
    Forever Trump, I want to have forever Trump

    Do you really want Trump forever?
    Forever Trump!

  16. Relax and don’t worry, it’s going to be fine. The White People’s movement keeps getting bigger all the time. I’m dreaming of a White nation, just like the ones that I once knew. And now with mass deportation, my dream is starting to come true!

  18. New Mexico requires a petition for write-in candidates with the same number of signatures as if they had filed for on-ballot access, with the only difference that a later filing deadline is used. It appears that a party can fill a vacancy in nomination after the primary, but for some reason the NMGOP is trying to avoid that.

    Rep. Kevin Kiley leaves GOP, further shrinking Speaker Johnson’s majority

    Rep. Kevin Kiley (California) said Monday that he is immediately changing his party affiliation on the House’s official roster from Republican to independent, further complicating the ability of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) to manage the Republican Conference. Last week, Kiley said he would seek reelection as an independent.
    During a news conference, Kiley said he will continue to caucus with House Republicans “for the remainder of this term” but pledged to be “an independent voice.” It remains to be seen what practical effect his move will have, but it narrows the number of registered Republicans in the chamber to 217. Democrats hold 214 seats, and there are three vacancies. Kiley will be the only independent.
