The Otero County, New Mexico, Commissioners voted to certify the results of a recent primary election, reversing course after their unanimous vote earlier this week to block the certification.
A Commissioner from New Mexico spoke to reporters in Washington on Friday. The photo was taken by Gemunu.
The only dissenter in the all-Republican commission's vote was the founder of a hard-right group called Cowboys for Trump who was convicted in April of breaching the Capitol.
The Secretary of State's petition was granted by the New Mexico Supreme Court, which ordered the Commissioners to certify the vote.
In an interview with Forbes, he said he had concerns about the voting machines made by the company.
The vote by the county commissioners to block the certification appeared to be inspired by Trump's fraud claims after the 2020 election. Oliver called on the attorney general to launch a criminal investigation after the commission delayed the certification.
He was sentenced to 14 days for his part in the Capitol riot.
State officials want a criminal probe of Republican officials who refuse to certify election results.
The New Mexico official who founded 'Cowboys for Trump' was found guilty over the role he played.
