Gov. enacts election reforms
Marisa Demarco | April 7by Marisa Demarco Daily Lobo The governor signed several election reform bills into law Wednesday that will change New Mexico's standards for voter identification and third-party registration drives. Voters will be required to state their names, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers and their dates of birth or show some form of physical identification before they vote. Republican state Sen. Rod Adair said it is not enough. "The people cried for voter ID, and they got no voter ID," he said. The language of the bill changed the ID requirement very little, he said. "It is not a voter ID bill," he said. In the event that voters don't want to state their personal information, they will have to present physical evidence before voting.
