Live streaming of Supreme Court hearing in election case
SANTA FE – Live streaming will be available Tuesday of a Supreme Court
hearing in a case concerning procedures for the June primary election.
Oral arguments in the case will begin at 1:30 p.m., and New Mexico PBS,
KNME-TV, will stream the hearing on its YouTube channel.
This will be the first hearing by the New Mexico Supreme Court conducted by
video conferencing.
Attorneys in the case will appear by video using the Judiciary’s audio-video
system. Justice Barbara Vigil also will participate by video. Chief Justice
Judith Nakamura, Justice Michael Vigil and retired Justices Richard Bosson
and Edward Chávez will be present in the courtroom of the Supreme Court
Building in Santa Fe. The in-person attendance will be strictly limited to
comply with gathering restrictions and courtroom seating will be configured
to meet social distancing requirements.
The retired justices were designated to participate in the case after
Justices C. Shannon Bacon and David K. Thomson recused from the case.
At Tuesday’s hearing, the Court is considering a petition by a group of
county clerks seeking a court order to conduct the June 2 primary election
by mail because of public health risks from the COVID-19 outbreak.
