Arizona elections chief who quit in a ballot-counting dispute just got a top state job

The former elections director for a rural Arizona county who resigned last year because of a flap over the hand-counting of ballots has been elevated to a top electoral post for the state.

Lisa Marra left her job in southeastern Arizona’s largely Republican Cochise County last year after she refused to follow the directives of the area’s two GOP supervisors who wanted a hand count of ballots cast in the 2022 election.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, in recent days appointed Marra as the state’s elections director. She had been a state assistant elections director since 2023.

Marra will be the point person for elections officials in Arizona’s 15 counties and will oversee equipment testing, candidate and petition filing, election night reporting and canvassing.

She replaces former elections director Colleen Connor, who was named to the new post of state policy director, monitoring election-related lawsuits and overseeing implementation of the state’s elections procedures manual.

Marra resigned after refusing to help with a hand count of 2022 midterm ballots demanded by the GOP majority on the Cochise County board, saying it would be illegal for her to do so.

Folks in Arizona:

Continue to shine the light on her. You know where she is and you’ve tested her to know what she is.

Enjoy your new hobby.

You just knew that the corrupt Fontes had to have a hand in this.

Marra resigned after refusing to help with a hand count ... saying it would be illegal for her to do so.


Why is hand-counting of ballots illegal? Seems to me that with observers from both parties present, it would be an almost fool-proof way to accurately count ballots. Please note that California which apparently also outlawed hand counting is still counting ballots from an election two weeks ago.

The deep state is always searching for infiltrators who will act on their behalf. Now they have installed a new one.

I think the law, and the courts, usually say that the same method of counting ballots have to be used statewide. Cochise County would need to follow state law.

When the rats stole the 22 AZ elections we knew they would weld the door shut, that is what this is. Trump will not be winning AZ.

“she was Vice-President of Workforce Policy at the Arizona Chapter Associated General Contractors (AGC)”

And she lives in Palominas.

Gee. If you ever wanted to construct a profile of an illegal alien smuggling enabler, she would be it.

Gotta get that cheap labor across the line! Her “ranch” probably has speed lanes from the border up to Hwy 92.
