[Lwvcnmtopics] Update from the League of Women Voters of Central New Mexico

[kwentworth17 at comcast.net]

Good Evening League Members,

 

This week we lost one of our treasured long time members, John Hill. Please
take a minute today to remember him and think about his wife Ruth. They have
always been important members of our community.

 

This is a reminder that we have no more meetings in April and we are
postponing our Annual Meeting that had been scheduled for May 2 until a
later time. In the meantime, work on the primary election Voter Guide
continues. It is not clear just how we are going to vote this year, but we
should know more soon.

 

The League of Women Voters of New Mexico and other groups have worked
together to file an friend of the court brief in support of New Mexico
Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver and several county clerks who are
seeking a safer way to conduct the June and November elections. Here's a
link to the news release
<https://www.lwvnm.org/pressreleases/2020-04-09-amicus-mail-in.html> .  This
will be heard by the NM Supreme Court on April 14. Depending on how the
court rules, we may need help educating voters about any changes in the
election process. 

 

This is a strange and anxious time for everyone, but the League is here to
help members in any way we can. If you need help, please reach out.

 

Please stay safe and healthy,
