Episode Details

The Forward Party in New Mexico is suing the state over unfair ballot access rules that force minor party candidates to collect thousands more signatures than major party rivals. After their Senate and auditor candidates were disqualified for falling short, the party argues the law is unconstitutional and seeks to have their candidates reinstated for November’s election. Newly certified as a minor party this year, they’re pushing for equal access and challenging a flawed registration deadline that came before their official recognition. Their fight, sparked by former presidential candidate Andrew Yang’s support, centers on fairness, dignity, and integrity — values the party says should be reflected in how New Mexicans vote.
