Arizona Judge Blocks New Election Certification Rule
U.S. District Judge Michael Liburdi has blocked a new rule that would have allowed Arizona's Secretary of State to certify election results without input from counties refusing to do so. The judge argued this rule could potentially disenfranchise millions of voters.
The provision would give Fontes nearly carte blanche authority to disenfranchise the ballots of potentially millions of Arizona voters.
This decision follows a 2022 incident where Republican officials in Cochise County delayed election certification. The Secretary of State's office is currently reviewing the decision to determine their next course of action.
