Republican county supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd initially refused to certify their county’s election results

Two elected officials in a rural Arizona county who stalled certifying election results have been charged by Arizona’s attorney general with conspiracy and interfering with an election officer.

Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd, Republican county supervisors in Cochise county, face two felony counts for their initial refusal to certify the county’s election results in 2022. A grand jury convened earlier this month to discuss the potential charges, which were filed on Wednesday.

Crosby and Judd had to be ordered by a court to certify the November 2022 election results, passing the statewide deadline for counties to canvass results. Even after the court order, Crosby did not show up to vote on the canvass.

    Peaceful transfer of power is the key hallmark of functional democracy. Everything ok there in the states? Blink twice if you need help.

    Just imagine the foreshadowing for 2024’s election. It’s going to be insanity.
