Rural Arizona county certifies midterm results after judge orders vote

The Cochise county board of supervisors voted 2-0 to approve the results after threat of lawsuits

A rural Arizona county finally certified its election results on Thursday after a judge ordered the county's board of supervisors to do their jobs just a couple of hours earlier.

The Cochise county board of supervisors voted 2-0 to approve the midterm results, allowing the statewide canvass of the election to continue as planned on 5 December. A third member of the board who had spearheaded the effort to delay certification, Tom Crosby, did not attend the vote.
