Arizona Officials Indicted for Interfering with Midterm Election Results

Two local officials in Cochise County, Arizona, Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, have been indicted by a grand jury for delaying the certification of the county's midterm election results in 2022. The indictment alleges that they conspired to delay the certification and interfered with the statewide canvas, committing two felonies. If the county hadn't certified the results, a Republican representative would have lost his race. Judd and Crosby are the latest Republicans to face criminal charges related to election denialism.

Far-right attacks on ERIC, a voter fraud detection tool.

The far right has targeted the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a bipartisan voting partnership that helps identify dead people on voting lists and catch if someone votes in more than one state, fracturing a partnership that had 32 member states at its height. Eight states where Republicans oversee voting have so far pulled out of ERIC, making voter fraud easier to get away with. The Gateway Pundit, a right-wing website, published a series of articles that falsely said the partnership was a "left wing voter registration drive," bankrolled by billionaire George Soros, aimed at helping Democrats win elections.
