The Cochise County Board of Supervisors confirmed that there is a hearing for this lawsuit scheduled Thursday.
BISBEE, Ariz. — After the Arizona Secretary of State's Office filed a lawsuit against the Cochise County Board of Supervisors on Monday, the board confirmed that a hearing was scheduled for 1p.m. on Thursday.
The Secretary of State's Office filed the lawsuit against the board because they did not certify the election by the deadline. On Monday morning, the board voted to delay the certification."We can't go into court without representation," Ann English, the chairwoman of the board, said."At some point in time hopefully today the board will meet to discuss that.
Voters who came to the meeting today expressed their concerns. Refaela Valenzuela, one of the voters who came to the meeting, said she's never seen the leaders of her county do this before. "I've been voting here in Cochise County for the last five decades, this is a first," she said."And let me tell you folks, welcome to the wild wild west.""We should just do the 2 percent hand count, the things that's always been done," she said."I would really encourage you to not certify the election in Cochise county because it will give one of the House of Representative seats to a democrat," one of the callers said.
