Two AZ Cultists Charged Over 2022 Election Batshittery

The Washington Post reports:

Two Republican members of a county election board in southern Arizona were indicted by a state grand jury this week for allegedly flouting last year’s deadline to formally accept the results of the November 2022 midterm election.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) on Wednesday announced the felony indictments of Cochise County supervisors Peggy Judd and Terry Thomas “Tom” Crosby. The two are charged with interference with an election officer and conspiracy. Neither responded to requests for comment.

The indictments of the two Republicans from a deeply conservative county in the southeastern corner of Arizona mark a rare example of possible criminal consequences in battleground Arizona, where county officials, state lawmakers and GOP candidates have helped delegitimize election outcomes and procedures.

Read the full article. As I reported last week, so far the county has paid out $300,000 in legal costs and to settle workplace harassment lawsuits. Judd has said she’s willing to go to jail to stop supposed election fraud. Crosby has launched a money beg on the Christian crowdfunding site favored by literal Nazis and Capitol rioters. As you can see, so far he’s raised less than 4% of his goal.
