Peggy Judd, a Republican supervisor in Cochise County, Arizona, became the first person criminally sanctioned for refusing to certify an election since 2020, agreeing to a plea deal.
Judd will serve at least 90 days of unsupervised probation and pay a $500 fine following her guilty plea for failing to perform an official duty.
This case is significant because it reflects a wider trend where many officials have toyed with not certifying election results amid false claims of voter fraud.
The charges against Judd and Crosby aim to deter others who might consider undermining election certification, reinforcing that such interference will not be tolerated in Arizona.
