The five electors who signed the fake certificates sparked a bill making its way through the New Mexico legislature and looks like it will pass along party line votes.
The five electors who signed the fake certificates from New Mexico were Jewll Powdrell, a retired businessman from Rio Rancho and member of the United Black Conservatives of New Mexico; Deborah W. Maestas, the former Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico; Lupe Garcia, a New Mexico businessman; Rosie Tripp, former committee member of the Republican National Committee; and Anissa Galacinni Ford-Tinnin. Ford-Tinnin was a campaign aide to former governor Susana Martinez as well as former executive director of the Republican Party of New Mexico. She was elected by the other four on Dec. 14 to fill the vacancy of oilman Harvey Yates.
The New Mexico Republicans who signed false certificates attempting to hand the state’s five electoral votes to former President Donald Trump but due to the wording did not violate state law on the attempt during 2020.
