Felecia Rotellini, the chairwoman of the Arizona Democratic Party, commented, “The Republican party is doing everything it can to silence thousands of Arizonans who already cast their ballots. That’s absolutely wrong, and the Arizona Democratic Party is fully prepared to fight to ensure that every last Arizonan has their vote counted.”
Brett Johnson, the lawyer representing the Republicans, denied the Democrats’ allegation. He emphasized that their intent was to ensure that counties follow the law.
“Our intent was never to suppress. Our intent was to ensure all counties to follow the law. Because of what Maricopa and Pima have done, it is essential that all counties get the same benefits,” said Johnson.
