The New
Mexico Democratic Party has filed a lawsuit challenging the lack of a straight
party ticket voting option in the general election.
The lawsuit was filed
Thursday with the state Supreme Court and also contends that ballots improperly
have the emblems of political parties next to the names of presidential
candidates. In the past, party symbols were next to the place on the ballot
allowing voters to make a single mark to support a party's entire slate of
candidates.
The lawsuit names Secretary of State Dianna Duran as the defendant.
She contends state law doesn't authorize the straight ticket option. The
lawsuit asks the court to restore a straight ticket option on ballots that will
be cast. It doesn't seek to invalidate absentee ballots cast since voting
started Tuesday.
