"New Mexico AG Advises Against Prosecution of GOP Electors, Suggests Legal Reforms"

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez stated that under current law, the state's Republican electors who submitted false election certificates in 2020 cannot be prosecuted. However, he is recommending legislative changes to prevent and penalize similar actions in the future. The GOP electors' actions were part of a broader attempt by Trump associates to overturn election results, which has led to indictments in other states. Torrez's proposals aim to expand the prohibition against falsified election documents and create laws against falsely acting as a presidential elector, despite GOP opposition framing such changes as political stunts.
