Some say it's reasonable to postpone for accuracy, while others are disappointed in the decision. People are weighing in on Cochise County’s Board of Supervisors vote to postpone
TUCSON, Ariz. — People are weighing in on the Cochise County Board of Supervisors' vote to postpone canvassing midterm election results.She said she agrees with the decision to postpone canvassing results because she wants them to be accurate.
“If that does mean postponing the certification to make sure the election is as airtight as possible, and the results are undetectable, then I think that’s something I support,” said Gaudet.“I saw just how difficult it can be just to prepare for an election to happen. I had a team of interns working 6-8 weeks just to check the ballots to make sure the ballot machines were working properly,” she said.
She said she agrees with those wanting to be sure when it comes to accuracy, but only for the right reasons. “But of course, there will always be people on the right who want to challenge the election process. And that is when I think it’s a mistake. I think that it undermines voters' confidence in our democracy, which is so important now to make sure that people have every confidence that the vote they are casting has an impact, not only will it count but it will be counted correctly.
The Chair of the Cochise County Democratic Party, Elisabeth Tyndall, weighed in on what this means for voters within the county. “At the end of the day, this is just disenfranchising our voters. It’s not just democrats that are being disenfranchised, it’s republicans, and independents and all of the voters in our county risk being disenfranchised by this,” said Tyndall.Reyna Preciado is a reporter for KGUN 9, she joined the KGUN 9 team in July of 2022 after graduating Arizona State University.
