Arizona Sues Republican-Led County for Refusing to Certify 2022 Election Results
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The state of Arizona has sued the Republican-controlled county of
Cochise after its Board of Supervisors refused to certify the results of
the 2022 election. The lawsuit was filed by Arizona's Secretary of State
Katie Hobbs, who defeated Republican, Trump-endorsed candidate Kari Lake
in the closely watched gubernatorial race. On Monday, Arizona's largest
county, Maricopa, certified the election results after a raucous public
meeting where supporters of Lake claimed the election was rigged,
without offering evidence. Lake is a loyal supporter of Trump's false
claims of a rigged 2020 presidential election, and she has refused to
concede after losing to Katie Hobbs.
