Arizona voting officials charged for refusing to certify 2022 election results | Arizona
Two elected officials in Cochise county, Arizona, have been charged by the state’s attorney general with conspiracy and interfering with an election officer. Republican county supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd face two felony counts for their refusal to certify the county’s election results in 2022, and had to be ordered by a court to do so. The charges allege that they conspired to delay the county’s vote and knowingly interfered with the secretary of state’s ability to complete a statewide vote canvass on time. Both supervisors have reportedly been pushing false election claims and sought an illegal hand count of all ballots. This action aligns with Democratic attorney general Kris Mayes’s vow to prosecute election interference issues in Arizona.
