Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Fraud is still illegal.
According to state law, they didn't commit fraud.
That's the point of the article
Article doesn't mention fraud at all.
What do you think filing false paperwork constitutes?
So is fraud legal in New Mexico, or only if you're a Republican and the AG doesn't want to pursue the case?
Why are you saying he doesn't want to pursue the case?
Because that's what the article says. There are absolutely charges that could be brought against them. Fraud, for one.
So you want the AG to bring fraud charges against the fake electors, despite his professional opinion as the head legal officer of the state of New Mexico that what they did does not constitute as fraud according to New Mexico law?
You're just happy that he's letting fake electors walk, so you're instantly accepting any excuse.
Because I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Assuming the worst of everyone is an awful way to live
Instantly accepting bullshit excuses is how you get taken advantage of.
If he didn't want to be called complicit, he shouldn't have been complicit.
