Refuse to Certify

Arizona election officials who refused to certify 2022 results charged with conspiracy

There's also a Rolling Stone story about an election official who's suing for the ability to NOT certify results.


Why is it that whenever there is talk about people's votes NOT being properly counted, it's almost always Republicans? Folks claim it's hyperbole that Republicans are trying to end democracy....and yet there are all these very real examples of HUGE swaths of voters ACTUALLY not having their vote counted.


Not play make believe versions of this like those associated with last election. ACTUAL events that occurred.

(story, however, is from last November)

Well, it's Arizona.

Could the people's delusional beliefs be due to heatstroke, perhaps? Or seeing mirages of truckloads of fake votes in the desert?

April update:​

A Cochise official’s vote for hand-counting ballots came at a cost. Will anyone help her pay it?​

Peggy Judd, facing felony charges over 2022 election actions, says she feels betrayed by people who promised help with legal defense.​

Peggy Judd listened with interest in late November as Arizona state Sen. Sonny Borrelli urged county supervisors in an area he represents to hand-count ballots in the 2024 elections instead of using machines.

The Mohave County supervisors had been warned that doing so would be illegal. But Borrelli promised them that if they went ahead, “private individuals” would pay for a lawyer to represent them.

“The funding is already in place,” he said, declining to identify the private individuals.

A year earlier, Judd and fellow Cochise Supervisor Tom Crosby had voted to expand their county’s hand-count audit of the 2022 midterm election ballots, and also to delay certification. The two Republicans have since been indicted by a state grand jury for alleged conspiracy and interference with an election officer, both felonies. According to recently filed court documents, prosecutors believe that in voting to expand the hand count, Crosby and Judd were attempting to delay or prevent the canvass.

“They don’t intend to help me,” Judd said, talking about Borrelli and the purported anonymous donor who had promised money to the Mohave supervisors.

“They think I am small beans,” she said. “I guess I am.”

[haha, sucker!]
