Former Elections Director: SOS Mailings Part of Normal Voter Registration Management

State officials say they are complying with the National Voter Registration Act with recent mailings sent by the Secretary of State's office to over 177,000 registered voters in New Mexico.  The federal law requires states to maintain voter registration information.  Critics are calling it voter suppression. 

The Executive Director for New Mexico County Clerks, Daniel Ivey-Soto, says mailings like these are done as a normal course of business for Secretaries of State across the country.
