Katie Hobbs, Arizona's governor-elect, wants Cochise County votes to be counted.

Either the conspiracy theorists are right or the Secretary of State is bad at cheating.

Come on.

This is a gift, a free throw, a waist-high pitch, just asking for Hobbs to knock it out of the park.

The supervisors of Cochise County are holding out on certifying the election results because one of the Democrats went against the majority Republicans. Instead of saying, "Thank you," and heaping praise on the blockheads, the office decided to take them to court.

Katie Hobbs could look the other way

In the event that they fail to canvas by the deadline, we are prepared to take legal action and ask a court to force them to do so. The law in Arizona states that the Board of Supervisors has a duty to canvass the results of the election.

I told you something. It's terrible at cheating.

After not certifying election results, Cochise County sued.

It would be a bonanza for Democrats if she and her office did not follow the law.

In the race for Arizona's 6th congressional district, Republican JuanCiscomani received more votes than the democrats.

She could 'steal' the election for 2 Democrats

Democrats would have enough votes from the other 14 counties to win both of the races if the supervisors refused to certify the results.

To make that happen, the office has to do a lot of things. Don't even think about filing a lawsuit. Don't do any things.

The goofball Republican majority on the Cochise County board should not be allowed to take the votes of tens of thousands of their own residents.

There is no easy way to steal an election.

Instead, Hobbs helps those who voted against her

If the board refused to certify the vote because of the allegations of fraud made by the loser, she would be happy.

She was going to give one national and one statewide office to her fellow Democrats.

She is doing the same thing. Even though her opponent received more than 8,000 votes, she is taking the side of the law.

Either she is a straight shooter or she stinks at cheating.
