For Star subscribers: Maricopa County supervisors certified the election as accurate despite angry barbs from critics. But Cochise County's board refused, setting up possible legal action by Arizona.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — Maricopa County supervisors voted Monday to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election despite a parade of citizens who accused them without evidence of everything from corruption to treason.
"Certification is not an optional act for boards of supervisors,'' he said, even as he was jeered by spectators."We've had this date circled on our calendars for quite a while now.'' In fact, Golec, representing herself, filed an emergency motion Monday seeking to restrain the county from going ahead with the certification, claiming the votes were not properly counted and that there were"illegitimate votes.'' That was immediately rejected by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Brad Astrowsky, who said such claims are premature and cannot be filed until after the state canvass.
"The voting booth is supposed to be a time for peaceful revolution,'' Roscoe continued."Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution necessary.'' They pointed out, however, that each voter whose ballot would not scan for immediate tabulation had the ability to deposit it into a sealed"Door 3'' to be counted later. But some voters refused after being urged by Kelli Ward, who chairs the Arizona Republican Party, not to use that option.County officials acknowledged backup at some polling places. But they said the longest wait time at 85% of the vote centers was no more than 45 minutes.
The two supervisors in Cochise County who voted to delay said they simply want more information to address claims the machines counting the ballots were properly certified.
