An Arizona grand jury indicted two Republican county supervisors for allegedly delaying the certification of last year’s midterm elections, Arizona’s attorney general announced Wednesday.
Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd (R) and Tom Crosby (R) were charged with felony counts of interference with an election officer and conspiracy.
One year ago, the duo 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.
“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.
