Arizona Midterm Election: Cochise County certifies election results after judge's order

Cochise County has certified the 2022 Election by court order, ending the week-long legal saga.

The vote was 2-0. Democrat Chairman Ann English and Republican Vice-Chairman Peggy Judd approved the vote, but Republican Supervisor Tom Crosby was absent from the meeting, even though he was mandated to attend by the judge.

Cochise was the only county to not canvass the election by the November 28 deadline.

The Cochise County board tried to hire an attorney for the hearing, but counsel did not make it in time and the board was required to represent themselves.

The attorney the board hired petitioned for the case to be moved to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arizona, which does not exist.

These are our so-called professionals in government? These individuals wouldn't last 1 month working in private businesses. They would be fired for incompetence!

This looks awfully familiar… now where did I see this play out? Oh… I remember. The 2020 elections. And I’m still waiting for the republicans to win a single case. So far, zero wins.

Most counties have a lawyer on standby, They wanted those results to go through as is. Just wanted to make a show to make people think they were really doing something.

[billbarrett]

They violated the law and should be held accountable.

It is said hobbs threatened the counties to certify or go to jail 2 years.

I was really hoping that Republic-controlled Cochise County would not have certified their county, so every vote in that county got removed from the State count and cost Republic the US House seat.

The officials in power in Arizona are much like the officials of the Ukraine 🇺🇦
Corruption at a scale beyond the ordinary citizens of that state and country. How long has this been happening? How could we have fallen so far?
