Grand jury indicts Arizona officials for conspiring to delay election outcome and ignoring election law

Two Cochise County supervisors in Arizona have been indicted by a grand jury on charges of conspiracy and interference of an election officer for delaying the canvassing of the 2022 general election results. The indictment comes after the supervisors, Peggy Judd and Tom Crosby, refused to sign off on the vote count by the deadline, citing concerns about the certification of the machines used to tabulate ballots. The charges have been criticized by their attorney as politically motivated, while the Arizona Attorney General emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law and supporting election officials.
