Election officials in a rural Arizona county are gearing up for a slew of legal battles after they failed to certify the results of the 2022 midterm elections, facing criminal penalties and at least two lawsuits.
Two Republican supervisors in Cochise County, Arizona, voted to delay the county’s election results until Friday — four days after the state-mandated deadline. The vote quickly spurred court battles from state officials as they scramble to complete the statewide canvass, which requires certified results from all 15 counties before being completed.
“It’s astounding that Cochise County officials failed to certify the election results,” Alex Gulotta, the All Voting is Local Arizona state director, said in a statement. “The refusal to certify the results is directly tied to those who would rather sow distrust in our electoral process than protect our democracy and ensure that all votes are counted.”
The delay of the statewide canvass threatens the postponement of recounts in at least two statewide elections, including the attorney general’s race, which can’t begin until results across Arizona are certified. It also hinders candidates and outside groups wishing to sue over election results, as parties can’t file lawsuits until the vote counts are certified.
Cochise County supervisors voted to delay certifying election results amid pressure from Republican leaders who wished to reject Democratic wins over GOP candidates. As a result, two county supervisors, Republicans Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd, voted to push certification to Friday until they could receive more information about concerns over ballot tabulators.
Election officials have already deemed the ballot tabulators safe and accurate to use.

And for what? A symbolic "tilting at windmills" protest against elections held in the another county over?
God, we are truly the stupid party.
👍🏻👍🏻
The ghost of McQueeg finds another aircraft carrier.
The numbers are hinky.
You evidently don’t understand what certification is. Not certifying would change nothing.
Refusing to participate in a fraud election is clearly the right thing to do morally, and if the right Judges are found, will be determined to be the right thing legally as well.
Laws confiscating the property of Jews should have been disobeyed, and the people should have fought with the police and other enforcers, even to the extent of using deadly force.
Stealing an election should be regarded with an equal degree of seriousness.
I hear that Kemp is getting a dentist to install a gap in his front teeth.
Refusing to certify should call attention to the fraud going on in Maricopa county. The entire statewide election should be declared null and void.
Every county should have refused.
Says simple Simon.
God, we are truly the stupid party.
Some of us clearly are. They are not only stupid, but cowards who will not fight when someone is trying to mug them.
The moron who stated this oxymoron should be shot. Their view is that one or two counties should be able to make a sham of all of the state's votes - and that local authorities should have no voice on whather the election was fairly conducted. Maricopa county is big enough to steal the whole state, but apparently the moron doesn't believe statewide concerns should be a consideration at the county leve.
It's the democrat plat writ large - corrupt key areas, and force everyone else to accept it.
Super secret code words for - socialism.
Bingo.
That hasn’t been the claim.
Not even Kari Lake is alleging fraud.
We all know how this "Emperor's new clothes" thing works.
It's fraud, but many people are not daring to say it. What happened in Maricopa county on election day can be viewed in no other manner than a deliberate effort to stop Kari Lake voters from voting.
her lawsuits will
and in the end... Hobbs will be destroyed along with every traitor mcCainite...
What they have sown, they WILL reap.
God CREATED Karma, reaping and sowing.
the whirlwind is coming... not trump, not a new election... things that can only be described as quantum events from the Sovereign of sovereigns.
it is not a matter of “faith”... it is our reality.
