Election lawsuits pile up in Arizona, as counties, candidates challenge 2022 midterms

One lawsuit seeks to prevent the certification of the 2022 election in Arizona.

After Maricopa experienced a host of problems on Election Day at many of its vote centers, one county subsequently chose not to certify its election by the Monday deadline, while another county certified "under duress," according to two supervisors on the county board.

The Mohave County Board of Supervisors received an email from Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' office on Monday saying that they could face felony charges if they didn't certify the election that day.

"[W]e were instructed by our attorney that if we did not canvass the election that we would be facing a possible class 6 felony, which is four months or up to five-and-three-quarters years in prison," one of the supervisors on the Mohave County board, Chairman Ron Gould, told the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show on Thursday. "So if you have a choice of vote yes to canvass or vote no and go to jail, do you really have a choice?"

Gould revealed that he's seeking the Arizona attorney general's opinion regarding Hobbs' claim that supervisors who decline to certify face criminal liability.

"[W]e're going to try to get an attorney general's opinion of, 'Is this the proper interpretation of the law?'" he said. "We might find that out just from the way the judge behaves towards Cochise County, because they're going through essentially what we thought might happen in Mohave."

Meanwhile, a lawsuit against Hobbs and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to prevent state certification of the elections for statewide office in Arizona is set to have its first hearing on Friday. The date for state certification is Dec. 5.

This is a waste of time. Bonzo’s Feral “judges” will blow off every lawsuit. Their side won. They aren’t going to mess it up.

This is good. Let the bastages pay lawyer fees to defend the law suits even if they go nowhere.

“Their side won.”

Cant say they “won” in a criminal sense.

Let every judge all the way up to the USSC blow it off. It's not a waste of time.

Hobbs to Mohave County Board of Supervisors: “I will have you brought up on felony charges if you do not certify that I won.”

Can there be anything worse than a crooked candidate using her current office to brazenly steal the election for her?

I don’t know who Bonzo is, but this is a signal to others that there is potential risk to their criminal actions. Doing nothing is weak.

Mohave County official Gould is a coward. 4 months in prison is WORTH NOT HAVING A CRIMINAL AND HER CRONIES TAKE OFFICE due to an UNCERTIFIABLE election.

Gould was just looking for an out. WEAK argument when you consider the MAGNITUDE AND CONSEQUENCES OF THIS STEAL.

Did I say "consequences"? Yeah, ONE OF WHICH IS TRUMP COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE ELECTED IN 2024 WITHOUT ARIZONA!

Let's remember to fight for a detailed audit, not a simple recount.

Now we know why Hobbs didn’t recuse herself. She wants to threaten everyone with 6 years in prison if they don’t certify her stolen election!

I dunno.

Perhaps soon after the nationwide protests begin against THIEVES Biden, DNC, Soros et. al. for 2020.

She’s a damn crook. I can’t believe she got away with this. I don’t think the Founding Fathers ever intended for the candidates to run the electoon and the RATS’ always getting to “count” the votes until their candidate “won.”

RINOs would rather see a Rat win than MAGA.

Nothing has changed since 2020.

“Mohave County official Gould is a coward. 4 months in prison is WORTH NOT HAVING A CRIMINAL AND HER CRONIES TAKE OFFICE due to an UNCERTIFIABLE election.”

How is not certifying Mohave County results going to prevent Hobbs and her cronies from taking office? Mohave officials weren’t being asked to certify the statewide results, only local results in Mohave County.

I would take it to a jury of my peers and see what happens.
