Previous coverage in the video player: Two Cochise County Supervisors indicted on felony charges of election interference
Two Cochise County Supervisors, Peggy Judd, 61, of Willcox, and Tom Crosby, 64, of Sierra Vista, both plead not guilty today in Maricopa County Superior Court. They face felony counts of conspiracy and election interference for their role in postponing the 2022 election certification.
Outside the courthouse, Judd's lawyer Kurt Altman spoke on her behalf.
“She’s been charged with crimes she didn’t commit, we’re going to defend," Altman said.
Crosby did not speak to the media.
Following today's arraignment, the initial pre-trial conference is set for February 1, 2024.
The two members of the three-person board voted in November of 2022 to delay election certification prior to the canvas deadline, and after ordering a ballot hand-count—a move that was blocked in court prior to Election Day 2022.
