In the meeting, held only two hours prior to an afternoon court appearance as defendants in a suit filed by the Secretary of State's office, Supervisors voted 2-to-1 to name Daniel McCauley III of Cave Creek to represent them.
Ann English, again the sole 'no' vote, said she did not believe obtaining a new lawyer two hours prior to a court hearing was fair to voters. English also was the 'no' vote in the delay to certify earlier in the week, reiterating it was the board's statutory obligation to certify county election results by the legal deadline.
The County Attorney in Cochise is not representing the board, due to the fact that the refusal to certify the election results by the Monday, Nov. 28 deadline was an action outside of the law, according to state statute. KGUN 9 will have full coverage of the court hearing, including a livestream of proceedings, beginning at 1 p.m.Anne Simmons is a digital content producer for KGUN 9.

Hobbs violated the law and belongs in prison!!!
Nothing but a stunt! There needs to be consequences!!
Cochise residents need to make sure no taxpayer dollars are used for this attorney nor are payments made by outside sources of funds which is also illegal. It's time to force these yahoos to pay back taxpayers from their own funds and assets.
That was an illegal meeting for lack of sufficient notice. This was not an emergency. It was a situation they created. Any contract that was entered into is void so that attorney is working for free.
Or they could just certify the damn votes.
