Cochise County Supervisors are defying state law to order a hand count of election ballots along with the usual machine count.
BISBEE, Ariz. — What hand count advocates call a boost for election security, opponents call an effort to undermine confidence in the vote.
The meeting that kept a room packed for four hours was a follow up to an earlier meeting that ran almost that long. Supervisors Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby pushed for the hand count in the name of verifying Cochise County’s machine Count. Hand Count Advocate David Wood said, “It is a vote not by the people but by a private company and by those who conspire with these private companies.”
Hand Count opponents worry some of the ballot counters could look at early ballots and leak information on who’s winning and losing.
