Recall supporters
The petition to recall Tom Crosby stated the following grounds for recall:[3]
| “ | Cochise County Supervisor Tom Crosby violated his oath of office and attempted to obstruct our county's election processes. He defied the order of an Arizona Superior Court judge by refusing to certify our county's 2022 election. This would have disenfranchised more than 47,000 county voters. He interfered with election officials, ignored legal advice of our county attorney, and promoted an illegal hand count of 100% of ballots. He violated multiple Arizona Title 16 statutes regarding elections. These actions resulted in unwarranted expenses to taxpayers. Supervisor Crosby is unfit to continue in his elected position and should be recalled. | ” |
