New Mexico expands voting locations on Saturday, rolls out new tool for poll challengers

As of Saturday, counties across New Mexico will expand voter locations for the June 2 primary beyond clerks’ offices.

In addition, more than 20 New Mexico counties will participate in a pilot program designed to modernize the poll challenging process via a digital tool.

According to Santa Fe County Clerk Katharine Clark, a Democrat running in the primary election for secretary of state, her office conceived of and helped develop the tool. Correspondence with the company that developed the tool, which Clark shared with Source NM, appears to bolster that claim.

A spokesperson for the Secretary of State’s Office, however, says that office developed the tool and Santa Fe County was simply the first to use it.
