    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) on Wednesday announced the felony indictments of Cochise County supervisors Peggy Judd and Terry Thomas “Tom” Crosby.

    The three-member Cochise County board eventually did vote to certify the results of the election, but only after a judge ordered they do so.

    “You will meet today,” Superior Court Judge Casey F. McGinley told the three members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors last year.

    When the board convened at 3:30 p.m., with Crosby absent, Judd and the remaining supervisor, Ann English, a Democrat, voted to certify the results.

    The surrender, under court order, ended a standoff in Cochise County that threatened to upend the state’s process for affirming the will of more than 2.5 million Arizona voters.

    The ensuing chaos could have undermined the projected victories of Republicans in a U.S. House seat and the statewide race for schools superintendent.
