Not How Elections Work

This is fact. It has been confirmed. People threatened with jail for not certifying an election they legitimate questions about. That is extorsion. Hobbs and her deputy should be prosecuted.

CONFIRMED: Katie Hobbs’ Office Threatened County Board With Arrest, Felony Indictment If They Didn’t Certify Results

Katie Hobbs’ office threatened Mohave County Supervisors with arrest and prosecution if they failed to certify the results of their elections before the state deadline. Kori Lorick, the State Elections Director and Hobbs’ top deputy, sent multiple emails to the Board warning them of...

“The Secretary of State did contact our County and cited A.R.S. Section 16-1010 as a statute that could be used to prosecute [the board] if they did not certify the election,” said Matt Smith, the Mohave County Attorney, to the DCNF. The statute is an Arizona felony statute regarding election officials who “fail to perform their duties” under the law; as a Class 6 felony, upon conviction, it could result in up to two years’ imprisonment.

“The threat of legal action, including personally, came from the Arizona State Elections Director [Kori Lorick],” said the board’s chair-elect, Supervisor Travis Linginfelter. While previous reporting noted that the board’s members were warned of prosecution by their counsel, the board’s members have now stated that the threats came from Lorick, who reports to Hobbs, as well.

The County Supervisors should tell Hobbs they're counting as fast as they can and then count 1 or 2 votes every hour.

Those deniers never had their day in court. That is a fact that will not change. No evidentiary hearings were granted. Those judges sided with the enemies of our Constitution. They need to be thrown out of office.

Their job, by a certain date, was to certify the election.

They refused.

But eventually, they did the right thing.

At least one county did. Maybe there is one more which is being stubborn in following the Constitution.


They will learn to follow it, or eventually lose their jobs.

In a blistering 30-page opinion, a federal judge ordered sanctions against the attorneys of Kari Lake and Mark Finchem in their lawsuit against voting machines, hoping to deter "similarly baseless suits in the future."

Lake and Finchem, Trump-endorsed Republicans who failed in their bids for governor and secretary of state, filed suit in April in an attempt to block Maricopa and Pima counties from using any electronic device to cast or count votes. They asked the court to order the counties to require paper ballots and conduct a hand count of all the ballots cast.

U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi dismissed the suit in August, calling it full of "conjectural allegations of potential injuries."

Before the dismissal, the five members of the Republican-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors — the defendants in the case — had asked for sanctions for the "numerous false allegations about Arizona elections" the candidates and their attorneys made in their federal complaint.

You do not know what you are talking about. But you may start as many threads about stolen elections, and denying this and that.

Those judges were half of them Republicans appointed by Trump.

He wanted them to break the laws. They refused and followed it. It is the job they signed up for.
Following the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

Their job is to ensure elections have integrity.

And that judge has nothing to back his ass up but the word of the people on the other side of the argument. He does not have the right to believe anyone until it is properly investigated and that never fucking happens. I wonder why?

 

[Lastamender]

They did. What is your problem with that?

No they did not. That is why they did not want to certify and had to be threatened. You have already lost this argument.

Now, you know more about the law then judges and lawyers.

 

[Lastamender]

Now, you know more about the law then judges and lawyers.

I know enough to know this an abuse of power. If you cannot admit that you are not worth talking to.

 

[Sixties Fan]

No they did not. That is why they did not want to certify and had to be threatened.

The ballots were counted. Their job was to certify those votes by a certain date as in every other election.

The consequence for Cochise County if they continue to refuse to certify those votes, is that some of the Republicans may end up losing their seats, as those votes will not be able to be certified.

That is absolutely a WINNING strategy.

You know nothing about election laws.

By all means keep playing at knowing about the laws and everything that is happening in that part of that country.

 

[Sixties Fan]

You know NOTHING.

Wishing it to be abuse of power does not make it so.

Stop playing at knowing laws, and actually go learn about them.

And they did.

The fuckups wanted to overturn an election they lost.

And a federal judge threw the bullshit book at them.

The Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans and voters in the county have also sued over the refusal to certify, and a voter filed notice with the county Wednesday threatening a class action lawsuit if necessary.

The board plans to hold a second meeting to vote on certification at 10:00 a.m. local time Friday and discuss purported election issues, and if it doesn’t voluntarily certify the results at that time, it’s likely the courts will force them to, as happened in a separate New Mexico case during the midterm primaries.
If the county’s results aren’t certified by the time Hobbs has to certify the statewide results—which is scheduled for Monday but must happen by December 8 at the latest— the official statewide vote totals will not include Cochise County’s approximately 47,000 votes.

Excluding the county’s votes would flip the election results for Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District from Republican to Democrat—GOP candidate Juan Ciscomani won by only 5,232 votes—as well as a race for state Superintendent of Public Instruction, Bloomberg notes.
