Cochise County supervisors prove that Katie Hobbs definitely stinks at cheating

Either the conspiracy theorists and election deniers are fully wrong about Gov.-elect and present-day Secretary of Condition Katie Hobbs, or she is seriously, actually bad at dishonest.

I indicate, appear on.

This is a present, a freebie, a waist-large fastball served suitable down the center of the plate just asking for Hobbs to knock it out of the park.

In a 2-1 vote, with the lone Democrat heading towards the majority Republicans, the kooky supervisors of Cochise County are holding out on certifying their county’s election effects. And rather of stating, “Thank you,” and heaping praising on the blundering blockheads on the board, Hobbs’ office environment made the decision to sue them for not pursuing point out regulation.

Katie Hobbs could glimpse the other way

Or, as Arizona Election Companies Director Kori Lorick set it, “In the event that they are unsuccessful to canvas by the deadline, we are well prepared to get authorized motion and ask a court docket to have to have them to have out their statutory obligation. What Arizona legislation says is that the County Board of Supervisors has a non-discretionary duty to canvass the County’s election results … So, less than the regulation, they have this accountability, and refusing to canvass would essentially disenfranchise all of the voters in Cochise County.”

What did I convey to you? Horrible at cheating.

In courtroom:Cochise County sued two times following not certifying election outcomes

If Hobbs and her business office selected not to comply with the regulation and, primarily, look the other way, it would be a bonanza for Democrats, pennies from heaven.

Cochise County is greatly Republican.According to data on the county’s website, Republican Juan Ciscomani gained virtually 14,000 far more votes than Democrat Kirsten Engle in their race for Arizona’s 6th congressional district.Furthermore, Republican Tom Horne gained 9,000 a lot more votes than Democrat Kathy Hoffman in the contest for Superintendent of Community Instruction.

She could ‘steal’ the election for 2 Democrats

If the supervisors ended up to refuse to certify their election success and, as the law delivers, “disenfranchise all of the voters in Cochise County”, Democrats would have plenty of votes from the other 14 counties to get each of those people races.

Tale carries on

All Katie Hobbs’ place of work has to do to make that transpire is switch a blind eye. Really do not file a lawsuit. Don’t do anything at all.

Enable the goofball Republican vast majority on the Cochise County board – who, ironically, squawk about non-existent voting irregularities – negate the votes of tens of thousands of their residents, the the greater part of them from their own bash.

There would be no easier way to “steal” a pair of elections.

As a substitute, Hobbs allows all those who voted towards her

If Hobbs was section of some sinister scheme to defraud Arizona voters as the loser Kari Lake statements – without any proof – she would welcome the board’s refusal to certify the vote.

She would be providing a person countrywide and one particular statewide office to fellow Democrats.

Instead, she’s carrying out just the opposite. She’s using the side of the law and the citizens in Cochise County, even even though they supported her opponent by a lot more than 8,000 votes.

So, possibly Hobbs is a good-minded, legislation-pursuing straight shooter or … she definitely, genuinely stinks at cheating.
