The referral comes a day after the supervisors were forced by a court order to certify election results.
Cochise County Supervisors Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd knowingly violated state law and should be investigated for potential criminal and civil offenses for delaying the canvass of the general election results, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' office stated in a referral to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.
"Supervisors Crosby and Judd knew they had a statutory requirement to certify the election results by Nov. 28, but instead chose to act in violation of the law, putting false election narratives ahead of Cochise County voters," the letter, signed by state Elections Director Kori Lorick, states. The referral also cites the state's Election Procedures Manual, which states that a county supervisor who refuses to carry out duties without just cause is subject to a Class 2 misdemeanor and a $500 fine payable to the county.
