On July 23, the New Mexico Libertarian Party filed a federal lawsuit against the Secretary of State for refusing to provide an accurate count of write-ins in the party’s June 2 primary. The party’s choice for State Appeals Court, Stephen P. Curtis, needed 230 write-ins in order to advance to the November election. The state canvass credited him with only 204, but the party has evidence that many of his write-ins weren’t counted.
Here is the Complaint in Curtis v Oliver, 1:20cv-748. When the party complained about the inaccurate tally, it was told that it needed to pay $3,573,400 for a recount of the approximately 1,500 Libertarian primary ballots cast. Here is a news story about the lawsuit.
As long ago as 1915, federal courts have recognized that the U.S. Constitution protects a voter’s right to have his or her vote counted. Some of the plaintiffs in the case are voters whose votes weren’t counted.

Pick numbers out out a secret police trash can ???
This is American fake news you repeat DemoRep. Russian votes have most accurate count. This is why we have to teach USA how to conduct your elections. Great progress made in 2016, will continue this year and beyond.
Any further news on this lawsuit? I believe Mr. Curtis is the only real hope of polling 5% in a statewide race this year. The nominee for US Senator will probably fall short. Not that it matters but the party did not field any candidates for any of the three congressional seats. One is an open seat and the other two have freshmen representatives seeking their first re-election.
Russian votes matter.
