SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas is deploying investigators and attorneys to help ensure proper conduct at polling locations across the state.
Balderas announced Sunday that his office would provide support to county clerks at polling places. The move responds to a request from the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office.
The same routine support was provided by the attorney general’s office during June primary elections.
Secretary of State Brad Winter says election administrators are well prepared for Tuesday’s vote, and that the partnership with prosecutors instills additional public trust.
