A vote to certify Cochise County election results seems likely with a key supervisor now saying she's a 'yes' vote.
Cochise County Supervisor Peggy Judd said she would vote to certify the county's election results next week, a move that would respect the votes cast by more than 47,000 county residents and avert another legal battle over the Nov. 8 election.last week delayed a decision on whether to certify the election results,
“I've done my homework," Judd said, adding she spent several late nights reviewing information about the laboratories that certify vote tabulation machines. Her vote, along with that of Democratic Supervisor Ann English, would create a majority on the three-member panel. English has indicated she doesn't support a delay in certification.
That's because Cochise County voters lean heavily toward Republican candidates, so the lack of certification would subtract their votes from the official statewide tally. While both Democrats and Republicans would lose votes in this scenario, GOP candidates would have the bigger losses.
Likewise, Ciscomani would trail Engel by 8,500 votes, in contrast to his current winning margin of 5,200 votes.Judd said the people who have supported her efforts in questioning aspects of the election were telling her to decide for herself on certification. After a Superior Court judge ruled the board's 2-1 decision to do a hand count violated the state law,to try to force her to expand her legally authorized hand count. They hired Phoenix attorney Bryan Blehm to press their case, then later directed him to withdraw the matter since two statewide races were headed toward an automatic recount.
