An effort by residents of an Arizona border county beset with election denialism to recall a county supervisor who has championed false election claims has failed, its organizers announced.
The Committee to Recall Tom Crosby, a Republican in Cochise county, said it did not get enough signatures in time on a petition to trigger a recall election. The group needed nearly 4,900 signatures but gathered about 4,300, coming close to success before the 3 May deadline to submit the petition.
