Major Election Reform Bill Passes NM Senate: Contact House Dems NOW

Info from Charlotte Roybal and Dory Shonagon:
The Senate finally took up SB678 (Lopez), an omnibus election bill, at 9:15 PM on Tuesday, March 15. Three amendments were added and about six were defeated. Shortly after midnight the bill passed on a party-line vote.

With only four days left in the NM Legislative Session, it is very important that we contact ALL Democratic Representatives in the House and urge them to pass this bill because we need election reform THIS SESSION.

Editor's Note: I think it's important to send a note of thanks to all the Dem Senators who voted for this bill. And, in particular, I would thank Senators Linda Lopez (bill sponsor), Gerald Ortiz y Pino and Cisco McSorley and their hard-working staff members for their efforts and negotiating skills that produced this bill. Hooray for this victory! On to the House!
