Chavez Facing Voter Fraud Investigation

Eleanor Chavez

KOB - State Representative Eleanor Chavez is at the center of a criminal investigation for allegations that she obtained multiple fraudulent signatures on her petition to get on the ballot as a candidate for NM Senate District-14.
Chavez, who has been a New Mexico State Representative since 2009, is seeking the seat vacated by Eric Griego, who is now running for a U.S. congressional seat.
One of her primary challengers, Michael Padilla, was the first to raise the allegations that Chavez’s campaign forged the signatures of constituents to gain the necessary signature requirements for the petition.
The KOB 4 On Your Side team began looking into the claims and found at least five people listed on the petition denied ever knowing, meeting, or signing any petitions for Chavez.
4 On Your Side visited random homes listed on the petition. The homeowners included Michelle Stark, Ryan Stark, Alfred Howell, Victoria Deer, and Joseph Dangelo all who said on camera that they never signed Chavez’s petition. Read full story here: News New Mexico
