NM-HD44: District 44 candidate files complaint in district court; claims election fraud
BERNALILLO — Ali Ennenga, the Republican candidate for New Mexico House District 44, filed a contest of election complaint Dec. 17 with the 13th Judicial District Court.
Ennenga is representing herself in the suit against Democrat Kathleen Cates, the incumbent and declared winner of the 2024 District 44 election last month. According to a release sent by Ennenga, she has several concerns about the conduct of the election, particularly with same-day registration voters.
"The numbers just don't match," Ennenga said. "From the confusion created by same-day registration to changes in the provisional ballot numbers after the canvass, there are too many unanswered questions. I am filing this complaint to demand transparency and a hand recount of the ballots."
In the 63-page complaint filed with the court, Ennenga states irregularities and/or fraud took place in both Sandoval and Bernalillo counties, but particularly in Sandoval.
