In Cochise County, ideology trumps public service. Of course, threats of going to jail trump ideology.

Even election-denying ideology.

From CNN -

Rural Arizona county certifies midterm election results after judge’s order

Officials in rural Cochise County, Arizona, on Thursday certified the results of the county’s midterm elections – ending a high-stakes confrontation with state officials over the county’s failure to sign off on election results by the legal deadline.

The 2-0 vote came shortly after a judge ordered the county’s three-member board of supervisors to certify the results by 5 p.m. local time.

In Cochise County, Peggy Judd, one of the Republican supervisors who initially voted to delay certification, said Thursday that she was “not ashamed of anything I did” but was voting “yes” in response to the court order. She was joined by the lone Democrat on the Cochise Board of Supervisors, its chairwoman Ann English, in certifying results.

The third member of the board, Republican Tom Crosby, did not attend the meeting.


Not sure which is worse - Judd's shamelessness or Crosby's cowardice.
