Two Cochise County officials who refused to certify the midterm election results are now the subject of an investigation by the Arizona attorney general.
County supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, both Republicans, told The Associated Press on Tuesday they received subpoenas last week to appear before a grand jury.The two-page subpoena from Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, does not mention why they are being summoned.
Judd said she was shocked to get subpoenaed almost a year after the election. She is only guessing that it has to do with election integrity and last year's effort to push for a hand count of all ballots. But they ultimately followed the law. Richie Taylor, a spokesperson for the Arizona attorney general, said the office cannot legally comment on grand jury proceedings.
In December 2022, the rural county certified election results only after a judge ruled Crosby and Judd were breaking the law by refusing to sign off on the vote count by the deadline.
