Forward Party Challenges Ballot Access Laws | Santa Fe News
Description
The Forward Party in New Mexico is suing the Secretary of State over ballot access rules they say are rigged against minor parties, demanding equal footing for voters beyond the two major parties. They argue that collecting over 14,000 signatures for statewide races — while major parties face far fewer hurdles — is unconstitutional and unfair. The lawsuit also highlights a crippling one-month outage of the online signature portal, further delaying their efforts. The party seeks to get candidates who narrowly missed deadlines onto the ballot and to strike down what they call an unjust system. The Secretary of State has yet to respond.
