The System Worked: Arizona County Supervisors who tried to mess with an election are indicted
https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/12/keeping-american-elections-secure.htmlTwo Trumpie county supervisors in Cochise County, Arizona are being indicted on charges that they failed to abide by state law in certifying their county's ballots in 2022 before the deadline.
Two of the three supervisors in Cochise County, both Republicans, believed unfounded conspiracy theories about vote counting machines being used and refused to certify the election ordering the county election supervisor, a 30+ year veteran of her job, to do a hand count, which is against Arizona law. She refused, and wound up resigning over the issue. Eventually one of the two supervisors voted to certify, after the state deadline, but the other one didn't show up for the meeting.
They nearly caused the county's voters to be disenfranchised and the lack of a certified count from that county would have caused a congressman his seat. All because two county supervisors bought into conspiracy theories about vote counting machines and inaccurate counts. The regular audits performed on the machines showed they were accurate. But truth makes no difference to these hard headed jackasses.

Holding them accountable is the first step to eliminating this reckless lawbreak

...idiots abound. The GOP/Fox has done a "great" job at dumbing down a lot of Americans. Clean out the trash!
