ICYMI: Rep. Yvette Herrell’s Radical, Anti-Democratic Extremism Continues as She Accepts Thousands from Fake Electors

After refusing to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, Herrell’s anti-democratic extremism continues

Today, the American Independent reported that Representative Yvette Herrell accepted thousands of dollars from supporters who, in 2020, pretended to be members of the Electoral College in an attempt to void the will of New Mexican voters by casting fraudulent votes for Donald Trump.

In the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden won New Mexico, but that didn’t stop fake electors from attempting to void New Mexicans’ votes. After refusing to certify the results of the 2020 election, Yvette Herrell has doubled-down on the Big Lie by accepting thousands in campaign contributions from fraudulent actors who sought to subvert the will of New Mexican voters.

DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy
“From refusing to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election to accepting thousands in campaign donations from fake electors who sought to subvert New Mexicans’ most fundamental right, Yvette Herrell’s contempt for voters and for democracy itself is all too apparent. New Mexican voters deserve a representative who will fight for them in Washington, not void their vote.”
