An Arizona grand jury indicted two local Republican officials who balked at certifying their county’s general election results by the legal deadline in 2022 – in a standoff with state officials that drew national attention at the time.
Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd, 61, and Tom Crosby, 64, each were charged with two felonies: interference with an election officer and conspiracy, according to the indictment.
“The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, said in a statement Wednesday, announcing the indictment.
They’re at it again, they refused to certify the results even when faced with a court order. If this is defeated that will set a horrible precedent that states can just refuse to certify if they don’t like the results. Crosby’s lawer is just talking g out his ass when he says there’s no basis for this. Hit those asshats with the felony charge they deserve.
We need swift punishment when they refuse a court order. I’m pretty sure that’s easy to prove and wouldn’t need a drawn out trial.
