Cochise County Elections Official Questions
Petition Gatherers |
|
"Petition gatherers
for the Recall
Tom Crosby campaign were approached by
Cochise County Recorder and Interim
Elections Director David Stevens Friday
morning, who claimed that they were
illegally gathering signatures on federal
land near the Hereford Post Office. [...]
McCloy said that he had permission to gather
signatures on the property, to which McCloy
said Stevens replied, “‘well, there might be
some mistake, but this is federal property —
post office property — and it’s illegal to
do anything political. And therefore, you
must leave. And I said ‘well, that’s not the
way I understand it.’
Then, he said ‘well, I’ll call the Sheriff.’
And he went ahead and did.” |

Arizona Sues After County Puts An Election
Skeptic In Charge Of Voting |
|
"The county’s
nonpartisan elections director, Lisa Marra,
announced in January that she would resign,
citing threats against her after she refused
to comply with rogue election directives
from the Republicans who control county
government, including plans to count ballots
by hand after last year’s midterm elections.
She recently accepted a position with the
secretary of state’s office. The county’s
board of supervisors then made David W.
Stevens, the Republican recorder, the
interim elections director, with the board’s
two G.O.P. members supporting the new power
structure in a Feb. 28 vote, and its lone
Democrat opposing it. On Tuesday, Kris
Mayes, who was narrowly elected as Arizona’s
attorney general in November and took office
in January, filed a lawsuit against the
county and called the power shift an
“unqualified handover.” Mr. Stevens, a
defendant in the lawsuit, has close ties to
Mark Finchem, a former state
representative and vocal election denier who
was recently punished by a judge for a
frivolous lawsuit that had challenged his
loss in the 2022 secretary of state’s race." |

How An
Arizona official Is Making Cochise County
A “Laboratory” For Election Skepticism |
|
"Recorder David
Stevens — a close ally to
Mark Finchem —
pursued the county’s illegal plan to hand
count midterm ballots and stands to take
more control of elections there." [...]
"David Stevens had never supervised a ballot
count. He didn’t know how he would count
nearly 50,000 ballots by hand, who would
help, or where he would find enough space to
do it. But that didn’t dissuade him. Less
than a month before the November election,
Stevens, the Cochise County recorder, told
the county supervisors he would be happy to
try. Arizona GOP leaders had spent two years
promoting unfounded claims about compromised
vote-counting machines, and were scouring
the state for a county that would willingly
hand-count ballots. They found it in Cochise
County, where Stevens grasped onto the idea,
devised a plan, and stoked the sentiment
starting to take hold locally." |
