Arizona GOP chairman contender asked county supervisors not to certify 2022 election
A candidate to chair the Arizona Republican Party called on Maricopa County supervisors in 2022 to delay certifying the state’s midterm election, which would have violated state law, according to an email obtained by Votebeat.
Jim O’Connor, chairman of the Arizona Corporation Commission, sent an email to Maricopa County supervisors on Nov. 27, 2022, asking them to delay certifying the election. Maricopa County provided the email to Votebeat in response to a public records request.
“Please look over the attached and allow reason and prudence to lead you all to delay certification of your County canvass until all the facts come to light,” O’Connor wrote, asserting that he had attached evidence that the county’s voting equipment wasn’t properly certified. The Secretary of State’s Office has since provided evidence showing that the equipment was properly certified.
The supervisors rejected his request and voted to certify the election the following day, as planned, meeting the deadline in state law.
