A bitter power struggle over who controls elections in Arizona's largest county has finally ended, with Republican officials striking a deal just days before voters head to the polls.
The agreement ends a months-long legal battle between Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap and the county's Republican-led Board of Supervisors after Heap accused the board of unlawfully stripping his office of key election powers. The board dismissed the lawsuit as frivolous and accused Heap of wasting taxpayer money.
