Residents defend vote centers, oppose precinct hand counts and immunity bill at Cochise County meeting
Summary
Four Cochise County residents told the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 11 they trust the county's current vote-center system and warned against returning to precinct-based voting, mandatory hand counts and a proposed bill that would let supervisors refuse to certify elections.
Four Cochise County residents urged supervisors on Feb. 11 to keep the county's current vote-center and mail-ballot system and warned against proposed state legislation they said would undermine elections.
Tricia Jardette, a Sierra Vista resident, told the board the county has "a good election department and system," adding, "We've had some glitches, but they've all been solvable and I think our results are trustworthy." Jardette said a return to precinct-based voting would be costly and difficult to staff compared with the county's existing vote centers.
