"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 five Republican electors who filed false election certificates claiming Trump won the 2020 election cannot be prosecuted. However, Torrez is recommending legislative changes to prevent and penalize such actions in the future. These recommendations include expanding laws against falsified election documents and creating a new law against falsely acting as a presidential elector. The issue of fake electors has led to criminal charges in other states, with ongoing investigations and indictments.
