Secretary Fontes deliberately kept the AZGOP in the dark by FAILING TO NOTIFY the political parties with ballot access, that an appointment had been made by the ‘Patriot Party’ to file signatures on their Petition for Political Party recognition.
Our request for copies of the original petitions filed with the SOS was DENIED by Fontes. When copies of the petitions were finally received, the date had been cut off in many of the images, again obstructing all AZGOP efforts to verify integrity in the filings.
When the AZGOP asked for better copies, Fontes REFUSED to rescan. This is a big departure from what Secretary Fontes did when ‘No Labels’ filed, as he is running the SOS with clear intent to help the Democrat Party and hamper the AZGOP.
