Election certification battles - Second Amendment sanctuaries - Balenciaga ad scandal

Source: Arizona.Vote

1. Summary
   Cochise County, Arizona has voted to delay the certification of its election results until well after a Monday deadline. The County's board claims it wants time to investigate voting machine security and to hear testimony by experts from the Arizona Secretary of State's office. The decision to delay certification already faces legal challenges.
   
   The vote comes as Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has refused to concede to Democrat Katie Hobbs, who is currently Arizona's secretary of state. In Arizona's largest county, Maricopa, protestors have demanded local officials not certify the vote. The county's Republican-dominated board chose to certify the election unanimously.
   
   Luzerne County, PA, voted to delay certification following a shortage of paper ballots at polling stations. However, a local official indicated results may be certified soon. In Michigan, the state election board unanimously voted to certify election results despite challenges. Prior to 2022, counties routinely voted to certify their election results without incident.
