Court: Democrat Secretary Fontes Sidestepped Arizona Law When Drafting Election Rulebook
« on: March 07, 2025, 02:50:21 pm »


Arizona’s Democrat secretary of state failed to comply with existing law when creating the state’s election rulebook, an Arizona court ruled on Thursday.

Writing on behalf of a three-judge panel on the Arizona Court of Appeals, Judge Lacey Gard ruled that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes “did not substantially comply” with the Arizona Administrative Procedure Act’s (APA) rulemaking procedures when finalizing the 2023 Election Procedures Manual (EPM). In Arizona, the EPM provides rules to election officials relating to mail ballots, voter registration, and other election-related matters.

According to Gard, Fontes’ illegal act pertains to the EPM’s public comment period.

In late July 2023, the Democrat secretary “published a 259-page draft EPM, allowing public comment for a period of fifteen days.” As unanimously determined by the three-judge panel, however, that is “only half the time the APA requires.”

Fontes was elected in the same election she was defeated as governor.

That kind sets aside the implied election issue.

Lake lost because she would not shut up about 2020.  She ran a crazy primary, but a great general (except she would not get off the 2020 "steal").  She lost her own race.l

One of the reps from my district was instrumental in consistently hammer this idiot over his elections manual.  She did a great job and it looks like some of her work is finally seeing results.

The manual has been ignored for years under SOS Hobbs.  About time it was addressed.

Trump's DOJ needs to be on top of this and they are blowing it off! We're going to have Hobbs cheating her way in again!

I was under the impression we already did, but then I realized the AG was also elected through cheating and is probably stalling as a big FU to Kelli Ward, former Chair of the AZGOP who's a Defendant in the bogus case.
