US House Seat Could Flip to Democrat If Arizona County Officials Don’t Certify Election
December 2, 2022 | Arizona
An Arizona county’s refusal to certify the results of the Nov. 8 election might cost Republicans a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, although one county supervisor said it likely won’t come to that.
As of Dec. 1, Cochise County hasn’t certified its results, drawing a lawsuit from Secretary of State and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs. On Nov. 28, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted 2–1 against certifying the results after one member said it was to protest against reported voting issues in Maricopa County.
The board stated that it would hold a second meeting to vote on certification on Dec. 2 and discuss election issues. It isn’t clear what would happen if officials don’t certify the Nov. 8 results, although it’s likely the courts would then step in.
Republican Juan Ciscomani is the projected winner of Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, which includes Cochise County. Data show that he defeated Democrat Kirsten Engel by about 5,400 votes…. (Excerpt from The Epoch Times)
