A chaotic coda to the 2022 midterms

For some Republicans, the fight for the midterm election isn't
over. Raising doubts over Arizona's voting machines and complaints
that the state takes too long to tally votes was the fuel behind
those who showed up at the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
meeting on Monday morning. These normally forgettable functions of
election administration are suddenly the subject of a pair of
lawsuits that add a chaotic coda to a disappointing election for
Republicans in Arizona and across the country. After illegally
going through with a hand count of their votes, Cochise County did
not reach their deadline for certification. And officials in
GOP-controlled Mohave County threatened to delay their election
certification, before relenting late Monday. This could result in
two Republicans losing their races. This week on The Gaggle, a
podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, host Ron Hansen
is joined by reporters Sasha Hupka and Mary Jo Pitzl to make sense
of what the issues are, what is being done about it, and what
Maricopa County has said in response. Learn more about your ad
