JUST IN: A Pima County judge has blocked a full hand count in tomorrow’s election for Cochise County, which was previously ordered by Republican officials. STORY:
The ruling from Pima County Superior Court Judge Casey F. McGinley came after a full-day hearing on Friday during which opponents presented their case and called witnesses. An appeal of the judge's decision is likely. Election Day is Tuesday.
The lawsuit only challenged a full hand-count of an estimated 30,000 early ballots, but the ruling appears to block a full hand-count of both the early ballots and those cast on Election Day. The two Republicans who hold the majority on the three-member Cochise County board of supervisors voted to go ahead with the full hand-count of the early ballots despite opposition from the county's elected Republican attorney and the election director for Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.
Stevens has never overseen a hand-count; that’s Marra’s role. She testified on Friday that she plans to conduct the normal post-election hand-count as usual. She also criticized the method Stevens chose to use, saying it was prone to errors.
