An often asked question nowadays is "what can I do personally to right the infringements of government"? I read that story about the Mohave County supervisor earlier on a news site and it raised several questions. This seems like it might be a place to take a stand. Being charged with a felony is certainly a big price to pay becauuse it affects your gun ownership rights if that is important to you.
Who made the threat to arrest him and charge him with a felony? The county sheriff? The county attorney? The state attorney general or the Secretary of State? The same Secretary of State who oversaw the election process while running for governor? Who would actually make the arrest, DPS officer? How many officers would refuse to make the arrest because it was unconstitutional? How would a judge rule on this case? Would it be dismissed or would he be acquitted? Is there actually a law that says they can be prosecuted for not certifying the election? The law says they must certify the election within a certain number of days but what if the election is questionable? Is there a legal provision for that?
Cochise County supervisors did not certify the election. They had a special meeting today and decided to hire legal representation. The certification was not unanimous.
