PHOENIX — An elections director who for years confronted death threats, professional attacks and election denialism in a rural Arizona county is resigning, The Washington Post has learned, joining the ranks of public officials leaving such posts amid a polarized political environment targeting democratic functions.
Lisa Marra, 59, who has been in charge of elections for five years in Cochise County, a ruby-red jurisdiction in the southeastern corner of the state, issued her intention to leave the post Tuesday through a letter to the county officials. She also serves as the president of Election Officials of Arizona.
A Cochise official said the county could not comment on the “employee matter.”
Behind the scenes after last November’s midterm elections, Marra played a lead role in trying to convince the GOP-led county board to follow state law and certify the election results as conspiracies over Republican losses took hold. The delay threatened to upend the state’s process for affirming the will of more than 2.5 million voters. Eventually, the board certified the results after a court order, becoming the last Arizona jurisdiction to do so.
In the letter, Marra’s attorney cited an “outrageous and physically and emotionally threatening” working atmosphere as well as “objectively difficult and unpleasant working conditions” that included public disparagement as well as legal action filed against her personally by two Republican supervisors.
Marra’s attorney wrote the board has also proposed to reorganize election duties that would involve taking away duties from her. Marra was recently told the board plans to hold a meeting in February “where local election deniers will present testimony as ‘experts’ on election security and the use of voting machines,” the letter said.

“At 4:30pm EST, my boss called me to tell me I had been placed on administrative leave pending an Investigation,” Dudek wrote. “They want to fire me for cooperating with DOGE.”
“I confess. I helped DOGE understand SSA. I mailed myself publicly accessible documents and explained them to DOGE. I confess. I moved contractor money around to add data science resources to my anti-fraud team. I confess. I asked where the fat was and is in our contracts so we can make the right tough choices.”
“I confess. I bullied agency executives, shared executive contact information, and circumvented the chain of command to connect DOGE with the people who get stuff done,” the post continued.
Dudek then offered his explanation for cooperating with what has become the enemy of entrenched power: “Everything I have ever done is in service to our country, our beneficiaries, and our agency.”
