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 aliens 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 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 DOJ 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, Maricopa County Recorder. 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.
