Republican losses fan election conspiracies in rural Arizona

Eric Suchodolski, chair of the committee to recall Cochise County Board of Supervisors Tom Crosby, speaks with a reporter at Sierra Vista Public Library, Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2023, in Sierra Vista, Ariz. Suchodolski says the recall effort developed out of frustration for Crosby's refusal to certify the 2022 midterm elections, but it is meant to prevent future delays in the certification process of elections.
