The Local News is at it again—I don’t care why anymore—let’s not play the blame game shall we.

We in the Democratic Party are looking to see where improvements can be made to ensure that voters have the easiest time possible at the polls in the future. We want to make sure that everyone who thinks they are a registered democrat can vote as a democrat. We also want voters to be directed to the correct polling sites the first time. If a voter was told at their caucus site on February 5 that they either were not a registered democrat or that they were not on the list for where they live then they should get a voter registration form from their local County Clerk’s Office. The process to change your voter information is simply and should take no time at all. The Democratic Party also has made sure that there are lots of trained people in our party who can help people to change their voter information. Please feel free to contact either The Democratic Party of Bernalillo County or The Democratic Party of New Mexico for help in updating you voter information. I am sure that they will be only too happy to help voting democrats.

Secretary of State Mary Herrera is doing her job by removing people from the voter rolls if their address is not correct. The state laws say that you must live at the address you put on your registration form in order to vote in this state. It is not Mary Herrera's fault if a voter moved and did not change the address on their voter registration, if a voter got married and did not change the name on their voter registration or if a voter forgot which party they registered for in the first place. We do not want dead people's names on the voter rolls because it upsets the families of the decease. It is a very difficult job to keep voter rolls current and up-to-date. No one should be pointing a blaming finger at anyone else when it comes to keeping voter information up-to-date. We should all work together to make sure that voters have the easiest possible time on the day of an election. If the information on a voter is not up-to-date or is incorrect it is a simply matter to fix it. So let’s help them fix it shall we.
