In a statement to the media outlet, Arizona GOP Chairman Jonathan Lines, said, “A foundational principle of American democracy and our justice system is that all votes are treated equally. It is not [neither] fair nor just that voters in one county are treated differently under the law from other voters in Arizona.”
Additionally, Lines said, “This suit seeks immediate redress of any inequality between ballots cast across Arizona. We stand behind our local county parties demand for equal treatment.”
On the other hand, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes explained that he and other county recorders have been conducting post-election verification calls for years.
“There are voters all over Arizona that have been benefiting from (this practice) for over a decade and Maricopa County voters should have that same benefit of due process,” said Fontes.
