Previous New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas opened an investigation into the state’s five alleged fake electors, and referred the case to federal authorities in January 2022. In the 18 months since, there has been no publicly apparent action in New Mexico from state or federal authorities.

Lauren Rodriguez, director of communications for the New Mexico Office of the Attorney General, said current Attorney General Raúl Torrez’s office was briefed about the fake electors when Torrez took over from Balderas, and the investigation is still ongoing.

“The briefing highlighted that the previous administration had referred the matter to the United States Attorney’s Office and the U.S. Department of Justice,” Rodriguez said in an email. “Our office is currently evaluating the status of the federal referral and investigating the allegations under state law. The Attorney General’s Office is committed to protecting the integrity of our election process and will hold anyone accountable who violates the law and threatens our democracy.”

Source NM asked the Department of Justice for comment, but did not receive a response by press time. Tessa DuBerry, spokesperson for the United States Attorney’s Office for New Mexico, said via email that the office does not confirm or deny the existence of ongoing investigations.

The paperwork for these fake electors stated that this paperwork would only be effective if the courts overturned the election results. These fake electors are probably safe.
