New Mexico is failing to meet requirements of a federal voting rights law, according to this letter sent by Project Vote and Demos to Secretary of State Mary Hererra on behalf of Project Vote and the New Mexico chapter of the community organization ACORN. The letter, which is required by law prior to initiating litigation, notifies Secretary Herrera that the state's Human Services Department (DHS) is failing to meet its obligation to offer voter registration at public assistance agencies as required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
