Some locals see the door knocks as “a form of voter intimidation.”
Leaders of a far-right Telegram group pledged that its members would not misrepresent themselves as county employees when theyfor a “canvas” of local voter rolls. But just weeks later, state officials say members of the group are misrepresenting themselves—and possibly opening the county up to lawsuits.
Otero County approved its contract with EchoMail in January. The history of the company, founded by conspiracy promoter Shiva Ayyadurai, set off alarm bells among election-watchers, and prompted an investigation by Brian Colón, New Mexico’s state auditor. “[T]he County is deficient in their ability to properly oversee the compliance of contractual agreements and further lacks proper oversight policies for contract compliance,” Colón’s office alleges in the letter, which goes on to suggest the audit is little more than political theater.
The letter takes particular issue with the NMAF’s efforts to “canvas” local households. The NMAF campaign involves knocking on doors and asking people for information about their household and how they voted. The NMAF is not an incorporated organization, but a group on the messaging platform Telegram, where its leaders routinely promote conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
