For Star subscribers: The pattern is set in conservative counties across Arizona. From Yavapai to Cochise and now Pinal counties, elections officials who don't follow the GOP activists' whims get pushed out.
Tim Steller The Pinal County election's director's resignation email was such a classic of the genre that it was possible to miss the meat of her complaint.
In a statement, Lew said he disagrees with her assessment. And in fact, it is hard to see from the outside what precisely prompted Roll's reaction. There was a conflict over GPS trackers for ballot boxes at the June 21 supervisors meeting, but it was not excessively hostile. Roll did not respond to a request for further comment.
“A lot of it is the nastiness that we have dealt with,” then-Yavapai County Recorder Leslie Hoffman told the Associated Press last year. “I’m a Republican recorder living in a Republican county where the candidate that they wanted to win won by 2-to-1 in this county and still getting grief, and so is my staff.”
Marra, a respected 5-year veteran of the job, resigned in January and filed a legal claim with the county, saying that the supervisors were parroting conspiracy theories and putting her at risk. She won a $130,000 settlement in May. So there is reason to watch carefully how elections are run in the county to Tucson's north. But there is equal need to let a competent official put her hands under the hood and make things work.
