On Wednesday, Arizona’s attorney general announced a grand jury indicted Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd (R) and Tom Crosby (R) with felony counts of election interference.
The indictment, returned earlier this week, accuses Judd, 61, and Crosby, 64, of preventing the timely transmission of the county’s vote returns for inclusion in the statewide canvass.
Last year, the duo reportedly voted against certifying the county’s midterm election results before the statutory deadline to do so, citing a trio of conspiracy theorists who claimed the county’s voting machines weren’t properly accredited.
Ultimately the three-member county board was ordered to certify the results days later with Judd voting to certify.
“The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,” said Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D), who won by the slimmest of margins in the 2022 elections.
“I took an oath to uphold the rule of law, and my office will continue to enforce Arizona’s elections laws and support our election officials as they carry out the duties and responsibilities of their offices,” Mayes said in her statement.
