The 3-2 vote on Monday by the Mohave County Board of Supervisorsagainst the proposal came a day after Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes told officials that approving the proposal would mean directing election workers to violate the law. She warned that her office would file a lawsuit if the measure was approved.
A hand count was also rejected in early August after Board Chairman Travis Lingenfelter said he couldn’t justify the cost given that Mohave County’s budget deficit already stands at about $16 million. County election officials had said it would take 245 new workers and $1.1 million to count all ballots by hand.

As a long time registered Arizona voter, my confidence in our elections process is high.
Arizona has a law making it illegal to verify votes?
Well THAT'S a novel concept!... and one that seems to favor fraudulent votes... which explains a lot to me.
And the financial figures cited equals out to nearly $4500.00 PER VOTE COUNTER - how damned many voters are IN that county that it would take 245 people that long to count votes? As old and decrepit as I am, I could count at least 1000 votes per day. Multiplied by 245 vote counters, that would come out to almost a quarter of a million votes a day.
At 200 bucks a day, 4500.00 comes out to 22 1/2 days of counting (8 hour days at 25.00 per hour). 1000 votes counted per day comes out to 22,500 votes counted per person. Multiplied by 245 vote counters, that comes out to over 5 1/2 million voters there. Not total population, just voters.
Something seems a little off there...
