Arizona Officials Indicted for Election Interference in Cochise County

Two Republican supervisors in Arizona's Cochise County, Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd, are facing felony charges for refusing to meet the state's deadline for certifying the 2022 midterm election results. The delay raised concerns about the potential disruption of future elections and the disenfranchisement of voters. The office of Arizona's secretary of state called for an investigation, leading to the charges brought by the state attorney general. The judge who ordered the county board to certify the results stated that they had exceeded their lawful authority in delaying the vote.
