NEW MEXICO SECRETARY OF STATE, MAGGIE TOULOUSE-OLIVER, USED ILLEGAL SOFTWARE TO COMBINE RESULTS IN NEW MEXICO ELECTIONS. THIS BREAKS MULTIPLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS. SHE ALSO GOES TO GREAT LENGTHS TO COVER IT UP.
Guest post by the Editor of the Estancia News
As the Democrat-controlled New Mexico legislature barrels ahead with legislation that would put the nail in the coffin of honesty and transparency in New Mexico’s elections, the corruption of the Secretary of State (SOS), Maggie Toulouse Oliver, continues to be exposed.
After hearing public testimony during a November Torrance County public meeting, the Estancia News has done a deep dive on how election results in New Mexico are finalized, or “canvassed.” It turns out the SOS has illegally centralized this process, cutting out the clerks, and breaking multiple state and federal laws in the process.
This series of articles will outline the framework put in place by Toulouse-Oliver and corrupt Senator Daniel Ivey-Soto that could be the mechanism used to illegally undermine elections in New Mexico.
WHAT DOES NEW MEXICO LAW SAY ABOUT REQUIRING COUNTY CLERKS–NOT THE SOS–TO PERFORM ELECTION CANVASSES?
During the canvass, each of the county clerks are to create a “report of the canvass” which gives detailed election results by ballot type and precinct for all the races on the ballot. State law explicitly states that the canvass report is the sole responsibility of the county clerk: “The county clerk shall: prepare the report of the canvass of the election returns by carefully examining the returns of each precinct to ascertain if they contain the properly executed certificates required by the Election Code and to ascertain whether any discrepancy, omission or error appears on the face of the election returns.” (NMSA 1-2-31.F).
Next, the County Commission must review the canvass report and other election documents and accept them if they find no errors, thus certifying the election in the county. Only after this process has been completed within the county are the canvass reports to be sent up to the SOS for the completion of the state canvass, which combines the individual county’s canvass reports into the official election results for the state.
WHAT DOES FEDERAL LAW SAY ABOUT THE SOFTWARE THAT MUST BE USED IN A POST-ELECTION CANVASS?
A “canvass” takes place immediately after the election and is the process of consolidating election results, dealing with provisional ballots, and ensuring that all the paperwork reconciles with the digital result. According to the Federal Election Assistance Commission: (https://www.eac.gov/sites/default/files/electionofficials/postelection/Guide_to_the_Canvass_EAC.pdf) “A thorough canvass must look beyond the ballots. Election officials examine the work of office staff and poll workers, including the completion of chain of custody forms, reconciliation paperwork, and all forms comprising the audit trail for ballots, equipment, and supplies.”
The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) also regulates the hardware and software used to create the canvass through the Voluntary Voting System Guidelines.
Section 1.1 lists the parts of the system that must be tested and certified by an accredited lab (the bolded portions refer to the parts of the system that touch the canvass): “all system hardware, software, telecommunications, and documentation intended for use to: prepare the voting system for use in an election, produce appropriate ballot formats, test that the voting system and ballot materials have been properly prepared and are ready for use, record and count votes, consolidate and report election results, display results on-site or remotely, produce and maintain comprehensive audit trail.”
WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN NEW MEXICO?
We know that the county clerks are responsible for creating the canvass report according to state law and we know that the hardware and software used to create the canvass must be done on certified software according to federal law. However, after a thorough review of internal communications and training documents, Estancia News can confirm that these laws are being blatantly violated by...

Democrats work in elections and between elections to produce desired election results as they have done throughout history. They get elected and re selected for a life time. Republicans show up on election day and hope for the best.
Very, very slowly, all of a sudden, nothing happened or will happen.
S.O.S. Different state, different day. And it's not going to change.
Drag her to the nearest tall tree, hang her and then ask if anyone is willing to spill the beans, or do we simply hang everyone and start over.
It will never end with these commies until we make them pay.
So is the corruption in NM similar to what we are finally hearing about in AZ? Is he Sinaloa cartel behind it, Soros, the DNC, the FBI, or someone else? You know she isn't working alone.
Democrats and election fraud go hand in hand the way open sewage and flies go together. After all, if there was no voter fraud, there would be no democrats elected to office. Moreover, North Mexico is a veritable hotbed of leftist/hippie/khommie lies and lunacy. So, yeah.
