On Monday morning, Cochise County Supervisor Peggy Judd pleaded guilty to one count of failure or refusal to perform duties by an election official, a Class 3 misdemeanor.
Judd, along with fellow supervisor Tom Crosby, were originally charged with a crime for refusing to certify the results of the midterm elections.
Judd will be sentenced to unsupervised probation for a period of not less than 90 days. She will also have to pay a maximum fine of $500, according to a press release from the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
“Any attempt to interfere with Arizona elections will not be tolerated,” Attorney General Mayes said in a press release. “My office will continue to pursue justice and ensure that anyone who challenges our electoral system is held accountable. Today’s settlement and verdict should serve as a strong reminder that I will not hesitate to use every tool at my disposal to uphold the rule of law and protect the integrity of Arizona’s elections.”
