House Panel Launches Probe Of New Mexico 2020 Election Audit
Newsy
A committee says it's looking into potential intimidation by volunteers from a conspiracist group canvassing voters and asking intrusive questions.
A congressional oversight committee said Thursday it has opened an investigation into a partisan audit of the 2020 election results that is taking place in New Mexico and was authorized by a Republican-led county commission.
The House Oversight Committee issued a letter to the head of EchoMail, one of the contractors involved in Arizona's partisan ballot review, requesting the private company produce documents and information regarding its forensic audit in Otero County, New Mexico, by the end of the month.
"The right to vote is protected by the Constitution and is the cornerstone of our democratic system of government," Democratic Reps. Carolyn Maloney, the chair of the committee, and Jamie Raskin, the chair of a subcommittee on civil rights, wrote to the company.
