顶级国产视频 is concerned by the decision of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors to delay certification of the county election results, which has the potential to disenfranchise the 47,284 county residents who voted in the 2022 midterm election.
The Center urges the board to canvass the election by Nov. 28, in accordance with state law.
At a Nov. 18 meeting to canvass the results, the board heard from members of the public who claimed that the vote tabulation equipment had not been certified by a properly accredited lab. The state election director gave testimony refuting these claims. The board of supervisors nevertheless decided to delay certification until unspecified individuals with knowledge of the process can provide assurances that the equipment was properly certified.
Under Arizona state law, bipartisan expert teams are already part of the established procurement process. Furthermore, the U.S. Electoral Assistance Commission website shows that SLI Compliance, which certified the tabulation equipment, is an appropriately accredited federal lab whose accreditation was reconfirmed in February 2021.
Arizona law does not give county boards of supervisors the authority to redress citizen complaints about the electoral process. Such complaints must be filed with the state attorney general, the secretary of state, the Department of Justice or in the courts.
