ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) — New Mexico lawmakers were bombarded with complaints from frustrated voters who pointed out issues in November’s general election.
    
The meeting, held Saturday in Santa Fe, was a chance for voters to voice their concerns with state lawmakers.
    
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the complaints heard ranged from long waits at polling locations, a limited number of voting machines and a lack of Spanish-speaking translators.
    
Some people at the meeting said they waited at least three hours in lines.
    
They also said there was little guidance from signage or Spanish-language documents.
    
The committee is expected to pass along the testimony to Secretary of State Dianna Duran’s office.
