After drama and delay Cochise County Supervisors certified their county election results—after a judge ordered them to do it.
Supervisors had trouble finding a lawyer to take their case. The Cochise County Attorney took a wave off, saying he wouldn’t help break the law. They finally got a lawyer Thursday morning but asked for a delay so he could get up to speed on the case. The judge ruled no and told them to go right out and certify the vote.
Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd had raised questions about the validity of voting machines since a few weeks before the election. They tried and failed to have all ballots counted by hand. Supervisor Ann English wanted to certify the vote without delay. She said Crosby really had something else in mind for that Friday meeting.
