I do wonder what the several litigants have to say about this given that none of the cases or recounts can go forward until there is a certified winner.
This is somewhat rhetorical, but what is the point of officials certifying anything if they are required to do it. Like Pence saying he was constitutionally required to certify the electoral vote, so why do it then? Why have the requirement. Like signing a check, unless you are at bank, no vendor has the ability to check your signature or even bothers too.
All this we have to certify so we don’t get in trouble seems retarded. Like being an hr manager and being required to hire every single applicant, what’s the point of your job then?
Like we have so many century old traditions and rituals we go through that seem so pointless.
The whole state of Arizona was stolen by Maricopa County. You have to have a legal battle with standing to stop these people from stealing every election. If one county gets to break the laws of the state without any impunity then you may as well bury the Republic.
Luzerne should just say all votes went to Oz and Mastriano and then certify those results. Just like the dems do.
MARICOPA COUNTY.
If Cochise County doesn’t certify their votes by next Thursday, the certification of the statewide election will proceed without them. This will result in two elections being flipped to Democrats, including a U.S. House seat. BTW its Maricopa County, not Mariposa.
We learned the core strategy to fight ballot-gathering fraud in real time analysis of voter rolls and cast ballots.>>> Voter roles are not updated accurately in PA. see auditor generals report on SURE system.
CERTIFICATION is being misused, THEY ARE SAYING THE VOTE COUNT WAS CORRECT..
arizona revised statutes
16-622. Official canvass; unofficial results
The board of supervisors shall declare elected the person receiving the highest number of votes cast for each office to be filled by the electors of the county or a subdivision thereof, and the clerk of the board shall, unless enjoined from so doing by an order of the court, deliver to each such person, upon compliance with the provisions imposed by law upon candidates for office as conditions precedent to the issuance of such certificates, a certificate of election, signed by the clerk and authenticated with the seal of office of the board of supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors has a non-discretionary duty to canvass the returns as provided by the
County Recorder or other officer in charge of elections and has no authority to change vote totals
or reject the election results
Throwing away a House seat to go tilt at windmills seems like a boneheaded move to me.
You know these legal challenges will go nowhere, right?
And pray tell how that matters in the slightest? Are you suggesting that not counting these votes will cause her to win the seat even more?
These guys are geniuses.
Yes they are. Hobbs has already been declared "winner", so if they can throw a monkey wrench into everything, they might actually be able to correct that.
Yes, it's a mystery how *FOCUSING ATTENTION ON THE FRAUD IN MARICOPA COUNTY* could possibly help the situation.
How is the seat getting thrown away? Why is demanding fair elections "tilting at windmills"?
You know these legal challenges will go nowhere, right?
They will until they won't.
It takes a pointless gesture and adds an element of counterproductivity?
I also suspect there are some folks in Cochise County who would like their votes to count.
Certifying is a pointless gesture because it will make absolutely no difference.
Refusing to certify because of election corruption is the only possible way they could make a difference.
I also suspect there are some folks in Cochise County who would like their votes to count.
They already don't count. Just as with absentee ballots in times past, States would only bother waiting to certify if counting absentee ballots could make a difference.
When they could not, States certified and counted the absentee ballots later.
Hobbs has already "won" with the existing system, and there are insufficient votes in that county to change that. They are already irrelevant. Only by holding up everything can those votes "count" for something.
Governor isn’t the only office on the ballot.
What about the county-wide offices?
Are we really concerned about those considering what is at stake on the state and national level?
Gibbet, drawn and quartered, public immolation... Needs to be something befitting the crime and to act as a deterrent to future bad actors.
As I said, I imagine some Cochise County voters are.
You realize only the supervisors are only certifying their own county, right?
Yup. And if it's throwing a monkey wrench into the corrupt people in Maricopa county, i'm happy they are doing it.
People should have gone to jail after the audit found all that bullsh*t in Maricopa county last year.
They aren't throwing a monkey wrench into anything.
They're doing the equivalent of holding a loaded gun to their heads and shouting, "Stop or the idiot gets it!"
