State Officials: New Mexico Democrats' Emails Unblocked

dpnm.net

Officials say a server issue that was blocking emails from the Democratic Party of New Mexico to state agencies should be resolved.

Secretary of State spokesman Ken Ortiz said Wednesday the Department of Information Technology contacted the service provider for state email addresses after an inquiry by The Associated Press and Democrats should no longer be blocked.

Democratic Party spokesman Scott Tillman says emails from New Mexico Democratic chairman Deb Haaland and other staffers were being blocked and "blacklisted" from state agencies.

He says the blocking is preventing state Democrats from obtaining important public voter information.

But Ortiz says the Secretary of State's office doesn't have any record of any complaints from Democrats and immediately would have helped resolve it.

Democrats have not confirmed if emails are unblocked.
