Arizona Official Pleads Guilty in Election Case
News summary

Peggy Judd, a Republican supervisor from Cochise County, Arizona, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for failing to certify the 2022 election results, thereby avoiding felony charges of conspiracy and interference with an election officer. Judd's plea deal includes 90 days of unsupervised probation and a $500 fine. She initially refused to certify the election alongside fellow supervisor Tom Crosby, citing unfounded concerns about voting machines, but eventually complied after a court order. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes emphasized the importance of this case in upholding election integrity, stating that interference with elections will not be tolerated. The plea deal highlights ongoing national concerns about attempts to delay election certifications at the county level. Crosby's case remains pending as he faces similar charges.
