New Mexico lawsuit alleges improper ballot denial for felons with restored voting rights.
A lawsuit in New Mexico alleges that residents with felony convictions are being improperly denied ballot access, despite a law enacted in July 2023 that restored voting rights to approximately 11,000 individuals after their release. The lawsuit claims that county clerks are using outdated information, leading to rejection letters for registration. It seeks to prohibit in-person registration requirements and compel clerks to process previously rejected voter registrations.
