PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - March 29, 2025 – Outlaw Democrat Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has brazenly declared that he will not cooperate with federal government efforts to secure elections and prevent illegal invaders from voting.
“I would tell them to go to hell,” he said when asked whether or not he would hand over publicly available voter registration data to the Department of Government Efficiency and the Department of Homeland Security to verify the citizenship of voters.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order earlier this week mandating voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, auditing and improving the security of voting machines, and ordering the Department of Justice to enforce the law against states that count mail-in ballots received after Election Day. The order also prioritizes the enforcement of laws preventing foreign money from influencing elections and federally funded organizations from lobbying or supporting candidates.
The section, titled Enforcing the Citizenship Requirement for Federal Elections, includes a provision that "the Department of Homeland Security, in coordination with the DOGE Administrator, shall review each State’s publicly available voter registration list and available records concerning voter list maintenance activities as required by 52 U.S.C. 20507, alongside Federal immigration databases and State records requested, including through subpoena where necessary and authorized by law, for consistency with federal requirements."
However, Fontes says he will not give any voter information, indicating that subpoenas may be necessary to obtain the records.
When asked about the incoming DOGE voter roll audit, Fontes launched into a tirade about defending democracy. Meanwhile, he intends to stonewall the duly elected president who won an electoral college landslide and the popular vote - all to preserve illegal voting in Arizona. It should also be noted that the people of Arizona overwhelmingly voted for President Trump and his agenda.
It can be recalled that Fontes oversaw the stolen 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona, as the county's top election official. He then ran for Secretary of State in the stolen 2022 election, where 60% of voting machines failed on election day, disenfranchising tens, if not hundreds of thousands of in-person GOP voters.
Fontes sat for an interview with Scripps News reporter Elizabeth Landers to respond to the new law this week and portrayed himself as "absolutely harsh in protection of my voters."
“If DOGE came to you in your office and asked you to hand over voter rolls/voter information, would you do that?” asked Landers. “Would you turn over anything to DOGE and to Elon Musk's team?”
“I would tell them to go to hell,” said outlaw Fontes. “There is no way in the world that I am going to turn my voter information over to a non-elected bureaucrat who has no legal authority to have possession of that personal identifying information of Arizona's voters. I will protect and defend every voter in Arizona, whether they're (sic) of my Party or not. This is far too important for the perpetuation of this republic. This is way too important for the nature of our society.”
Fontes continued with his tantrum and declared his intent to engage in patently illegal activities like the criminal he is. “Our democracy (sic) is the bedrock of everything that we have in benefit as Amerikan citizens. We cannot bend on this one. We, you know, might have disagreements on trade policy. We might have disagreements when it comes to other sorts of things like the environment or education. These are spaces where I think some reasonable debate can be had. But when it comes to protecting and defending our democracy, I will be absolutely vigilant and I will be absolutely harsh in protection of my voters,” including by breaking the law I have sworn to uphold.
