“Maricopa County’s election results are certified and final. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the elected body that oversees elections in Arizona’s most populous county, voted unanimously on Friday to approve the results of this month’s general election. The majority-Republican supervisors did so after spending hours on Friday afternoon asking election officials who oversaw the voting process numerous questions related to election fairness, security, technology and oversight. Before the vote, the supervisors, four Republicans and one Democrat, said they were satisfied with the answers” the Arizona Republic reports.
“Republican chairman Clint Hickman said there was no proof of fraud or misconduct in the election and he was confident that voters were provided with a fair election. He said that he ‘learned a lot about the character of people in this community’ on the matter, and he would not ‘violate the law or deviate from my own moral compass,’ even though he said that’s what some had pressured him to do. ‘No matter how you voted, this election was administered with integrity, transparency, and most importantly in accordance with Arizona state laws,’ Hickman said.”
