A federal judge in Arizona, Michael Liburdi, has ruled that the state's Democratic Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, cannot certify the results of the 2024 election if any counties withhold certification due to allegations of fraud. The ruling emphasizes that the Secretary of State's authority is limited under such circumstances, as stipulated by the canvass provision. This decision could have significant implications for the election process in Arizona, particularly if any counties decide to withhold certification.
