From the New Mexico Independent - Secretary of State Mary Herrera’s decision to add a space to November ballots for a write-in candidate for governor was legal, Assistant Attorney General Tania Maestas wrote Thursday in letters to Herrera and state Sen. Howie C. Morales, D-Silver City. Dianna Duran, Herrera’s Republican challenger in the November election, had objected to Kenneth A. Gomez’s registration as a ‘tea party’ write-in candidate for governor because Gomez has no running mate. “(T)he New Mexico Constitution states that ‘the governor and lieutenant governor shall be elected jointly by the casting by each voter of a single vote applicable to both offices,” Maestas acknowledged.
