Contempt of court? How deep are the pockets of those officials? Or alternate (cause the judge thinks third parties will cover unlimited) some jail time for all?

It isn't a hillbilly state, but it is full of (2nd or 3rd generation) Okies.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 10:27 pm Since when did Arizona become a hillbilly state? Or was I fooled?
Arizona explicitly prohibits voting in more than one state, and a person doing so would be guilty of a Class 5 felony if found doing so. Snowbirds must choose their state of residence for voting purposes, which is generally based on where one pays state income taxes.
If Hobbs and her office chose not to follow the law and, essentially, look the other way, it would be a bonanza for Democrats, pennies from heaven.
Cochise County is heavily Republican.According to records on the county’s website, Republican Juan Ciscomani received nearly 14,000 more votes than Democrat Kirsten Engle in their race for Arizona’s 6th congressional district.Likewise, Republican Tom Horne received 9,000 more votes than Democrat Kathy Hoffman in the contest for Superintendent of Public Instruction.
If the supervisors were to refuse to certify their election results and, as the law provides, “disenfranchise all of the voters in Cochise County”, Democrats would have enough votes from the other 14 counties to win both of those races.
All Katie Hobbs’ office has to do to make that happen is turn a blind eye. Don’t file a lawsuit. Don’t do anything.
Let the goofball Republican majority on the Cochise County board – who, ironically, squawk about non-existent voting irregularities – negate the votes of tens of thousands of their residents, the majority of them from their own party.
There would be no easier way to “steal” a couple of elections.
The letter: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents ... ov-29-2022'This craziness has to stop': Ex-prosecutors recommend charging Cochise County supervisors
Former Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard and former Maricopa County Attorney Rick Romley on Tuesday urged prosecutors to consider criminal charges against the Cochise County supervisors who refused to certify the county's election Monday.
Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd have repeatedly questioned election procedures and also been warned that if they did not canvass their election Monday, the state deadline, they not only could disenfranchise voters in southeastern Arizona but also face criminal penalties.
The supervisors already are facing two civil cases, both seeking to force them to certify the election this week so the statewide canvass can include Cochise County votes Monday.
"Their votes against certification resulted in the three-member Board failing to perform its legal duty to certify the election," said the letter from Goddard, a Democrat, and Romley, a Republican.
If* refusal to certify means those votes don't count, then, if I did the math right, Engel will take the 6th district instead of Ciscomani.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 1:32 pm I would really like to see Hoffman over Horne. I'm pulling for Cochise to shoot themselves in the foot. Hobbs should step back and let them.
Umm, how is doing nothing "not following the law"?If Hobbs and her office chose not to follow the law and, essentially, look the other way, it would be a bonanza for Democrats, pennies from heaven.

Can't they be charged after the new AG is in office on January 2, 2023? So they would not be immediately charged, but they would still be charged.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 6:49 pm The problem with this scenario is that the person that needs to charge them is Brnovich, who is currently going after Maricopa county where nothing illegal happened, and ignoring Cochise county, where something illegal is definitely happening.
Look at me... I'm a fighter. I'm fighting the evil Democrats in Maricopa by bombing my own county's Republicans. But I am fighting against even Democrats.. What? Maricopa has Republican board members doing this? They're RINOs and leftists/globalists who hate America. Look at me, I'm fighting.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 8:12 pm I'm confused as to why Cochise County is protesting, at the risk of all their votes, something in Maricopa County?
Of course, Arizona politics in general confuses me.
