WTF?!
If the certification has a legitimate beef if the count in their counties then they have every right to not certify the count until it can be reconciliated.
Otherwise there’s not even a reason to have certification other than as a participation trophy.
If the court is saying that the certifiers think their count is fine and are just stonewalling the results that’s a valid ruling. But the court is still inserting itself into a political process that, for some reason, they never seem to do when the results swing the other way.
Supposedly the law requires them to certify their county election if their count is complete, which it was in Cochise County.
The supervisors didn't have any problems with their own canvass.
“If the court is saying that the certifiers think their count is fine and are just stonewalling the results that’s a valid ruling.”
That IS the problem. No one is claiming or suggesting any irregularities with the vote in Cochise County. The Supervisors have refused to certify it as a political protest against the certification that took place in Maricopa County. That is a poor reason to prevent the votes in Cochise County from being part of the election.
As for the sanctions...that sound like BS to me! Sanctions are rare and require the lawyers sanctioned to have ZERO basis for their case. I don’t think Maricopa had fraud but it sure as heck had a ton of stuff that should not have happened!
