Her district, while, mostly rural and nearly half the state in territory size, it also includes larger cities of Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Aspen. I was surprised the votes came down to a 550 difference given her antics at home and in DC, but her opponent gave her a strong challenge at least....wining by just 550 votes in Western (rural) Colorado...what does that say about a candidate like Boebert?
I'd say so, she won by 26000 votes in 2020 as an unknown. Two years of people getting to know her cost her 25000 votes.Her district, while, mostly rural and nearly half the state in territory size, it also includes larger cities of Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Aspen.

t's certainly within the process to challenge a result if there are problems detected within the process. If an election supervisor is coerced into certifying results that they themselves noticed inaccuracies, malfunctions, or inconsistencies in the process, then what's the point of having a supervisor at all if what they supervised is ignored and they're forced with threat of jail time to decide the results were certifiable?
Investigations become before a challenge. Not enough time has been allowed for that to happen.
"Certify (agree with) the results and the way they came about, or go to jail!"
Lake and Finchem, Trump-endorsed Republicans who failed in their bids for governor and secretary of state, filed suit in April in an attempt to block Maricopa and Pima counties from using any electronic device to cast or count votes. They asked the court to order the counties to require paper ballots and conduct a hand count of all the ballots cast.
U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi dismissed the suit in August, calling it full of "conjectural allegations of potential injuries."
So far, there haven't been any significant problems detected within the process. The voters spoke; the Republicans lost again.It's certainly within the process to challenge a result if there are problems detected within the process.

Seeing that the person writing that article uses the label, "right-wing activists promoting a legal theory" (along with other leftist political rhetoric) and then the unsurprising fact that the person writes for the NYTimes, it's obviously just another piece of left-wing activism thinly disguised as journalism.The [Cochise County] board’s two Republican members, Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, had said they were stalling to hear out the concerns of right-wing activists promoting a legal theory — one previously debunked by federal election officials and rejected by the state’s courts — that the state’s electronic voting equipment was invalid.
But in an interview this week with The New York Times, Ms. Judd characterized the delay as a way to protest the election in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, where Republican candidates have clashed with Republican election officials over unproven claims that November’s election was compromised by technical problems.

Requiring a supervisor to certify election results that they find questionable is like requiring an inspector to give a passing grade to something they find defective, lest they go to jail.Given her history and actions as supervisor, the label fits. Regardless of her motivation or belief in invalid legal theories, she broke the law. A a law that you had the audacity to compare to Jim Crow laws.
With that, I'm done responding to you.
As the judge opined:
"...an impassioned argument to order the board to act that afternoon came from its lone Democratic member, Ann English. She had dissented from Monday’s vote to delay the ministerial move.
She warned the judge that Crosby intended to use Friday’s meeting as “sort of a smackdown between the secretary of state and the election deniers that he has on the agenda.” Crosby has indicated that he has concerns about equipment used in the election.
The judge, in ordering the board to convene Thursday, said such concerns were “not a reason to delay a canvass.” He found that state law “unambiguously requires” counties to certify the results by Nov. 28, unless vote tabulation is incomplete.
btw, if the supervisor had concerns regarding the equipment, he should have raised them before the election. After all, he, as a county supervisor, is accountable for the equipment.
Did the Cochise County supervisors actually find the Cochise County election results questionable? Did they make any statements to that effect?Requiring a supervisor to certify election results that they find questionable is like requiring an inspector to give a passing grade to something they find defective, lest they go to jail.

If they didn't, they wouldn't have had an issue with certifying the results right away.Did the Cochise County supervisors actually find the Cochise County election results questionable? Did they make any statements to that effect?

If you're going to make an assertion like that, you should at least explain your reasoning.One does not follow from the other.
