Arizona Officials Indicted for Conspiring to Interfere with Midterm Election

Two Republican members of a county election board in Arizona have been indicted for allegedly conspiring to delay the acceptance of the results of the November 2022 midterm election. The indictments mark a rare example of possible criminal consequences in Arizona, where officials and candidates have sought to delegitimize election outcomes. The charges include interference with an election officer and conspiracy. The board eventually certified the results under court order, avoiding potential chaos in the state's election process.
