The New Mexico Attorney General’s office is working with special counsel Jack Smith’s team on investigating alternate electors who cast provisional votes on behalf of President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, according to a spokesperson.

Two indictments against President Trump relating to the 2020 election—one filed in Washington (pdf) and the other in Fulton County, Georgia (pdf)—allege a conspiracy involving “fake” Electoral College electors who were marshalled to cast illegitimate electoral votes on behalf of the former president so he could win.
