The Curry Co (New Mexico) Canvass Board approved the final election canvass from the June 4 election today.

I have a theory that (1) The dirtiest states that have the worst elections are racist. Seems to mix well with fascism.

Illegals? my guess is illegals …same for Los Angeles,Ca….. NC…read Blood Done Sign My Name by Tyson.
