Foreign Nationals Voted In NM Elections

Dianna Duran

From koat.com -New Mexico Secretary of State Dianna Duran said she has proof that foreign nationals and possibly illegal immigrants have cast ballots in elections in the state.  There’s long been speculation that foreign nationals have voted illegally in New Mexico elections. On Tuesday, Duran told Action 7 News that they have.  After comparing the state’s voter registration list with the MVD’s list of foreign nationals with New Mexico driver’s licenses, she said she discovered 117 foreign nationals who are registered to vote. Duran said some of them cast ballots between 2003 and 2010. “We’ve just begun the process, and within 24 hours found 37 that we believe are not eligible voters, and are registered voters and did already vote,” Duran said. The implications are huge. The secretary of state said the votes cast by foreign nationals are not only illegal, but they may have changed the outcomes of some of our close elections,” Duran said.  More News New Mexico
