Monday is the deadline for Arizona's 15 counties to report results of the Nov. 8 election to the Secretary of State's Office.
Some speakers were well-known figures within right-wing circles. Those addressing the board included Ben Bergquam of Real America’s Voice, a conservative television network, and podcaster Joe Oltmann of Colorado. Both repeatedly have suggested that the 2020 election was rigged.
Bill Gates, the board’s chairman, told Townsend in a letter dated Nov. 27 that while the county would provide some of her requested information about the election, the subpoena didn’t provide a “reasonable” time for a response and wasn’t “tethered to a hearing” by the Senate. That meant the document did not “meet the legal requirements of an enforceable legislative subpoena,” he said.
But Deputy County Attorney Jeff Haws told the supervisors that if they delayed their vote beyond Monday, it could trigger legal action to compel the county to certify the election. And if that were not successful, the state canvass could move ahead Dec. 5 without the votes from Mohave County.They recessed their meeting and planned to reconvene at 2 p.m.People who attended the Cochise County meeting Monday were confused by the decision and what it means.
"Why couldn’t Peggy Judd be here and face the public instead of hiding behind her computer?” he asked. The vote comes after Supervisor Peggy Judd last week said she would certify election results, noting she found no problems with the county’s tabulation machines. On Sunday, she wavered, saying she had more questions.
