Could Hoffman and Engel actually win if Cochise county refuses to certify?
Yes.
I don't know why Hobbs is trying to force Cochise County to certify its results.
It's a win for Democrats if votes from Cochise County aren't counted.
She's probably trying to avoid anymore accusations of "rigging" the election in favor of her and the Democrats.
Democrats should call Hobbs and tell her to drop the lawsuit.
When Republicans are hanging themselves, don't intervene.
This is a trial run for election subversion in 2024. If Cochise County had actually succeeded then the GOP game plan would be to refuse to certify the results in Democratic strongholds like Wayne County, MI, Dane/Milwaukee Counties to flip those states to Trump regardless of how the state voted. This was an Armageddon scenario that not a lot of people took as seriously as they should have.
That said even though I plan to resume my tuning out of politics I can’t get enough of the Kari Lake reality show. I’m glad I don’t live in Arizona but I can’t say that her never-ending temper tantrum isn’t entertaining.
