New Mexico: Otero County Commissioner, subjected of failed recall effort, barred from holding office

A state court judge has kicked of office Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin for his role in rioting at the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Griffin, the founder of Cowboys for Trump, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor criminal charges. Griffin denies that he violated the law. 

Griffin was previously the target of a recall effort, which failed. Petitioners collected 1229 signatures and needed 1574 in 90 days. A judge greenlit the recall effort (New Mexico is a Malfeasance Standard state).

Griffin has also been accused of calling for the murder of the Governors of Virginia and Michigan, and called for violence at President Joe Biden's inauguration.
