TUCSON, Ariz. — If you’re ever in Bisbee on a Friday and hear a group of ladies singing, that’s where you’ll find Carol Park every single week.She’s a volunteer who is hand counting ballots in Cochise County.
The County then went to the Arizona Supreme Court, but the Court struck down their request for a hearing. However, just because Park is against the 100 percent hand count, doesn’t mean she wouldn’t participate in one. James Barton, a lawyer who represents the Arizona Democratic Party said while they aren’t involved in suing the County, they are encouraging members of the Cochise County Democratic Party not to engage in an illegal hand count.The repercussions could include but are not limited to 2 and a half years in prison along with fines if it is their first offense.
Some Bisbee residents like Rose Cobis said the issue would lead to the parties turning against each other.
