Attorneys and officials warned that requiring a full hand recount for the Nov. 8 election was unlawful and would result in a lawsuit and a potential loss of state funding.
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted Monday to require a full hand recount of ballots for the Nov. 8 election, despite dire warnings from attorneys and others that the move was unlawful and would result in a lawsuit and a potential loss of state funding.
State Elections Services Director Kori Lorick called into the meeting on behalf of the Secretary of State's Office and said the board would face a lawsuit if the hand-count proposal passed. A state lawmaker also warned the board that he would request that the attorney general investigate the board's move, which could result in the withholding of state funds to Cochise County.
A spokesperson from the Arizona Counties Insurance Pool also called into the meeting. He told supervisors it would be"improper" to expect other counties to pay Cochise County's attorney bills in the face of a lawsuit. He warned supervisors that the county would not have insurance to count on and would not have an attorney hired for them.
