Outgoing President Donald Trump s campaign filed a federal lawsuit Monday against the New Mexico Secretary of State s Office, alleging the use of drop boxes to collect absentee ballots in the general election violated state law.
The filing â which came as members of the Electoral College in New Mexico and nationwide met to cast votes formalizing Democrat Joe Biden s presidential election victory â asks the court to delay action by electors or vacate their certification until the case is resolved.
Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver implemented the drop boxes as an option for voters who chose to cast ballots by mail amid the surging COVID-19 pandemic. The presidential election drew a record number of voters who requested mail ballots.

Hydrogen-fuel-cell cars have struggled to find mainstream buyers, but elsewhere in the transportation sector a mass movement towards green hydrogen fuel has begun to spark significant activity. Interest has picked up in the trucking, railway and aviation sectors, and the latest development could have widespread implications for the cargo shipping industry and for ferry travel, too.
The road to green hydrogen
According to the Clean Cargo Working Group, carbon emissions from the shipping industry have actually dropped as a percentage of global emissions in recent years. They now account for an estimated 2 to 3 percent of global emissions, down from a steady 3 percent in 2012.

First meeting of the reborn National Space Council, Oct. 5, 2017
WASHINGTON: Outgoing President Donald Trump has issued a new National Space Policy that, in essence, seeks to put an official stamp on the administration’s previous decisions, from asserting that space is a warfighting domain to pledging a permanent US presence on the Moon to supporting industry efforts to mine celestial bodies.
The big question is: does it matter?
“I just think it’s a little too late for trying to put a stamp on something. It is just trying to say that they did something,” said veteran space policy wonk Erin Neal, founder of Velocity Government Relations and staffer to former Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida.
