From KRWG:
Herrera has come under criticism from her Republican opponent, Dianna Duran, and several county clerks.
Assistant Attorney General Tania Maestas said the state Constitution does not specifically prohibit a write-in candidate for governor and the state’s ballots are “neither blatantly illegal nor unconstitutional.” Herrera’s office released the letter on Thursday.
Critics of Herrera’s decision point to a constitutional provision that says the governor and lieutenant governor shall be elected jointly.
