Supreme Court Case Shapes Santa Fe County Election Dispute
In October 1890 the New Mexico Supreme Court reviews a mandamus appeal over county commissioner seats in Santa Fe. Pedro Delgado as acting clerk faced a writ to recognize petitioners as the board. the court upholds district court jurisdiction, allowing mandamus to compel recognition while noting potential quo warranto actions. The decision preserves the de facto commissioners’ authority to transact county business pending further adjudication.
