are official. The statewide certification, known as a canvass, was signed by Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, a Ducey appointee, on Dec. 5.
"This is a responsibility I do not take lightly," Ducey said. "It’s one that recognizes the votes cast by the citizens of our great state. Pursuant to state law on the fourth Monday following the general election, the current secretary of state in the presence of the governor, and the attorney general must canvass the election. That's the law."
"Typically, the state canvas marks an official end to the election. However, a law that went into effect this year that changed the margin for a recount to occur. This means that we will have three contests that will trigger the automatic recount provision: attorney general, superintendent of public instruction, and the state representative in District 13. So immediately following this canvass, my office will go to court to request a recount order.
