Curtis v. Oliver (James O. Browning, D.N.M. 1:20-cv-748)
A write-in Libertarian Party primary-election candidate for New Mexico’s court of appeals was only a few votes short of the number needed to advance to the general election. But there were indications of counting errors related to extensive absentee voting because of the social distancing made necessary by a global infectious pandemic. There was sufficient evidence of an undercount in one county for the district judge to order a recount. After the recount, the candidate qualified for the general election.
