Martin Heinrich Calls Out Election Deniers

Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) “is sounding the alarm over the move by rural Otero County in his state not to certify its primary election results,” Politico reports.

Said Heinrich: “We have to get back to a place where elections are won and lost on math. It is very, very deeply dangerous to democracy for counties or any other certifying agency to start making this political. We lose everything if our elections are not based on math. And, frankly, it robs the people of their will. And it is deeply undemocratic.”

“One of the members of the three-member county commission tasked with certifying the election results will be sentenced on Friday for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.”
