Arizona official certifies election ‘under duress’, says he’s under threat of arrest if he doesn’t comply
November 29, 2022 | Tom Tillison
Monday marked the deadline for Arizona’s 15 counties to report the November 8 election results to the Secretary of State’s Office and one county failed to meet that deadline while another did so under stated “duress.”
Mohave County Supervisors unanimously certified the results of the midterm election, saying they were doing so only because state law requires it.
“I will vote to certify this canvass under duress for the chaos Maricopa County has foisted into our election process,” District 2 Supervisor Hildy Angius said, according to Arizona Public Media.
Ron Gould, chairman of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, also said that he was voting to certify “under duress.”
“I found out today that I have no choice but to vote aye, or I’ll be arrested and charged with a felony. I don’t think that that is what our founders had in mind when they chose a democratic process to elect their leaders, or our form of self-government and I find that very disheartening,” Gould said.

Ron Gould is a stand-up guy. I might be a bit biased because I know him personally.

If the Board votes against Certification, like in Cochise County, it's a class 6 Felony. I don't know what he law he'd have been charged under. We'll find out soon, though because Hobbes just filed a suit against those Supers.
It's pretty strange the State can drop a Felony charge on somebody who is doing their duty for their Citizens. If he's "legally required" to vote "Aye," then why does he have to vote in the first place?
A question of logic I can't get my head around. I do know from knowing Ron and my local Supervisor (Angius) that it's a real concern of theirs.
