Summary

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, was compelled by a court order to release the names of about 218,000 voters to lawyers representing right-wing activists.

The appeals court upheld a lower court’s decision, which requires disclosing voter information due to a coding error that incorrectly classified some voters’ ballot access.

Fontes, who expressed serious concerns over potential harassment and violence against these voters, unsuccessfully tried to block the request.

The court ruled that Fontes had not provided sufficient proof that releasing the list posed a danger to voters.

    Exhibit 358427 of democrats rolling over for fascists.

    Voluntarily giving up the names is the opposite of fighting as hard as you could.

    Liberals can't conceive of actually fighting and that is why fascists always benefit from liberals being in power.
