Arizona officials certified the state’s vote canvass on Monday, officially declaring winners in the high-profile gubernatorial and Senate races, among other contests, as GOP figures vow to fight the election results in court.
The once low-profile certification process turned into a fierce battle between election officials, Republican candidates and some county boards as the GOP seized on printer malfunctions in the state’s most populous county, in part leading Arizona to become an epicenter for voter disenfranchisement allegations.
Election officials have acknowledged mishaps but insist no voter was disenfranchised. Some GOP figures and their supporters claimed officials were lying, unsuccessfully calling on county boards to not certify their canvasses in recent days before turning their ire to Monday’s state-level certification.
But Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), who is now governor-elect, Gov. Doug Ducey (R), state Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) and Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Brutinel still met to canvass last month’s election on Monday, a timeline mandated by state law.
“Arizona had a successful election,” Hobbs said. “But too often throughout the process, powerful voices proliferated misinformation that threatened to disenfranchise voters. Democracy prevailed, but it’s not out of the woods. 2024 will bring a host of challenges from the election denial community that we must prepare for.

The USA is a fleeting memory....
She’s on record now for having interfered with the civil rights of Kari Lake by her constant abuse of power with Twitter and Facebook.
Ain’t over yet Katie, you didn’t escape. And nobody in Arizona thinks you’re “the governor”.
Hobbs didn’t even come close.
What a biased BS headline.
Arizona certifies the elections under THREAT of IMPRISONMENT by the DNC winner.
Katie Hobbs, a STUPID social worker, is now Dictator of Arizona!!!!
God bless the legal challenges!!!!
I gave up on reading The Hill when The Hill stopped accepting comments. Who keeps posting these articles from The Hill. And why? It’s non-stop anti-conservative cow pie.
Under direct threat of political imprisonment to county officials if they did not certify. The person who made the threat was the same person who counted the votes and was running for governor. How can this happen in the USA?
“Election officials have acknowledged mishaps but insist no voter was disenfranchised.”
Such an obvious blatant provable lie that it should be a crime for them to even say that.
Hobbs and the rats know it’s damn near impossible to even delay an election result let alone reverse one. This thieving bitch will govern like she won by a clear 20 point win. When she shoves the LBGT BS into the schools and throws the border open the people of AZ are going to wish they stormed the building when the Maricopa certified the vote.
AZ is dead....

I agree. My whole life I heard the soap box, ballot box, cartridge box mantra, and in the end we submitted to the authoritarians and we’ll suffer the same multi-decade decline that they suffered in the Soviet Union and in present day China. Very sad end to a great Republic.
Is she still telling Twitter and Fakebook what to censor?
“Arizona had a successful election,” Hobbs said.
I know that Hobbs considers it a ‘successful election’, after all she ‘won’ her race. But the failures did exist and in such numbers that there is no way that a ‘successful election’ was carried out under her watch. She should at least have the decency to admit this.
True, and they know it. They have the ultimate advantage. I've often wondered why a people would subject themselves to corrupt governments, like the East Germans, or so many Middle east civilians, etc. I way why don't they rise up. Well, it's damn near impossible. Yep, they are stealing our country and the populace is basically silent, like lambs to slaughter.
“..insist no voter was disenfranchised....”
Very likely NOT true in every state.
You sound like one of those MAGA terrorists the FBI is looking for. How dare you not LOVE the Glorious Soviet Socialist People’s Republic of Amerika?
Yeah... We’re f*cked.
We survive this sh*t and next time ya’all need to listen to the “extremist” Patrick Henry wanna-be’s like myself. You’ll save a lot of dead folk from getting dead to begin with.
The RINOs who applauded the steal will soon find the very same fraud that was employed against MAGA candidates turned on themselves.
I couldn’t believe that Mark Levin endorsed Mark Brnovich during the Primary.
