Statement from Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes on questions over the preservation of evidence
PHOENIX—In response to recent GOP questions regarding the preservation of evidence, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes released this statement:
“There are two parts to this issue, the ballot and the envelope. The GOP asked me to sequester both as evidence. Keeping the ballots separate and uncounted is illegal, and I refuse to disenfranchise voters. But, I still have the envelopes. So if they want to sue me for something I understand the Clerk’s Office is open until 5 p.m.”
Tell that a-hole they didn’t say to keep them separate AND uncounted, just separate. This guy has clearly been coached by his Democrat-selected lawyer to muddy the language.
What a condescending bastard!! This whole mess is getting on my last nerve.
What an ass! The GOP didn’t say those ballots couldn’t be counted, they said they had to be retained, as well as the envelopes, for review. Damn, I hate Democrats.
maybe English is a second language to this guy or he just isn’t that bright to understand english as a first language? He surely could have asked if he wasn’t clear on keeping things separate and not mixing them in to properly filled out ballots. He just shows he is NOT the person for the job, since he cannot abide by law nor follow requests reguarding non properly confirmed ballots.
