Fontes defies Department of Justice over voter database dispute

More from this show

Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is being sued by the Department of Justice for refusing to share the state’s voter database with the Trump administration.

By failing to produce these records, the DOJ says he is violating federal law. Fontes, meanwhile, said he’s prepared to be locked up if that’s what it takes to protect the privacy of Arizona voters.

Adrian Fontes, Arizona Secretary of State, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the situation.
