Two of three Cochise County supervisors voted Tuesday to accept the canvass of results for the May 16 special election.
After a close election to fund a new jail with a new excise tax, two of three Cochise County supervisors voted Tuesday to acknowledge the receipt of the canvass of results for the May 16 special election. The third board member abstained from voting.
Crosby was critical of having a mail-in ballot election because of how the county verifies voters' identification without the use of an ID. “This was a timely matter, but also we have been working on it for seven years. We don’t have another way to get the money,” Judd said about the need for a tax.The Bisbee jail is one of three in the county, while two temporary holding facilities are located in the surrounding areas: one in Sierra Vista — the county's most populated city — and one in Willcox.
