Hey, all.

We have received credible reports that some members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors in Arizona may vote no on certifying election results today. They will be meeting at 4:30pm MST to canvass and certify the results, and have opened up the meeting to public comment. Failure to certify the results is a violation of Arizona law. It could result in delay and/or litigation, and undercuts the integrity of our election system.

If you’re in Arizona—but even if you aren’t—please email board@cochise.az.gov (before 4:30 AZ time ) to ask the Board of Supervisors to respect the will of the voters and fulfill their non-discretionary duty to canvass and certify the results. I have also created a click-to-send tool that will quickly auto-populate an email you can personalize and send. It’s here.

I said:

To the Cochise County Board of Supervisors,
I'm writing as a concerned citizen who wants to protect American democracy and the electoral systems that underpin it.
I understand that some members of your board may vote no on certifying election results today. This is unacceptable. Failure to certify the results is a violation of Arizona law. It will result in delay and/or litigation, which will cost taxpayers exorbitant amounts of money without changing outcomes. Finally, it undercuts the integrity of our election systems. There is zero--and I mean zero--evidence of irregularities in this election.
I join thousands of other Americans in asking you to respect the will of the voters and fulfill your non-discretionary duty to canvass and certify the results.
The entire country is watching; we expect you to do your jobs.
Thanks.

Spread the word to folks in AZ especially, please!
