On April 21, the New Mexico Supreme Court ordered that Rebecca Dow’s name should be restored to the Republican primary ballot. She had been kept off by the Secretary of State and by a lower state court because she filed screenshots of her petition pages, rather than filing the originals. Jaramillo v Whitehead, S-1-SC-41374. The court ruled orally and said a formal opinion will be written later. See this story.
Dow is an incumbent Republican state representative who is running for re-election.
The minor parties could never get away with this.
“because she filed screenshots of her petition pages, rather than filing the originals.” Who does that?
AND… the decision was unanimous! The justices are all Democrats. The dominant parties protect their own.
The Incumbent Party is very strong.
