However, after years of legal wrangling and legislation, Arizona does need clarity from the Court on how to administer the citizenship requirement for voting.

The DOJ’s announcement that it plans to appeal a federal judge’s ruling that barred them from accessing Arizona’s voter registration database today is nothing more than ongoing political theater and further damage to Arizona taxpayers.

I want to make this clear to the Trump Administration: you can sue me as many times as you want, but I do not take my responsibilities as Arizona’s Chief Elections Officer lightly and it will take more than political threats and unfounded…

Will not let this order stand without a fight and will meet the federal government in court.

Nothing more than a push to weaponize the sensitive personal information of voters in this country

And my call to election administrators, not just here in Arizona but across the nation, is to stay strong. Just do your job.

There would have to be a significant shift in the rhetoric and the attitude coming out of senior leadership in the administration before I open my door and say, ‘Yeah, you guys, come on in.’ It’d be foolish of me to let the fox into the…

The time, place and manner of our elections are established by the states. Congress can jump in once in a while, but there’s a process to the rules. You can’t just come in as a wannabe strongman and take things over.

This decision undermines Arizona's election security at a time when our enemies around the world are using online tools to push their agendas and ideologies into our very homes.

Voter suppression is unfortunately alive and well.

We implore you, please consider, if this is such a big deal and if it is so important that we continue to have free, fair, and secure elections, fund them.

Threats against elections officials in the United States of America is domestic terrorism.

The biggest challenge that we are all facing heading into November is the perpetuation of the mis- and disinformation.

Well, the economic costs of the conspiracy theories in Arizona are real dollars. Now, the paper that was purchased by this one county based on these conspiracy theories, that is absolutely useless. And we can't even use it. They can't use…

You do not have a First Amendment right to threaten people who are just doing their jobs.

But the reality is you do not have a First Amendment right to threaten people who are just doing their jobs.

This is a coordinated effort to undermine the democracy that upholds our Republic.

It is a coordinated national attack against democracy in America.

Some would even say, as I have said, it is an emergent method to move us toward fascism in this Nation.

It was a crime scene. And it wasn`t just any old crime scene or any old riot. This was an attempted overthrow of the government of the United States of America, where they had a gallows setup to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. This was…

When we have conspiracy theories and lies like the ones Mr. Finchem has just shared, based in no real evidence, what we end up doing is eroding the faith that we have in each other as citizens.

Congress provides the rules for the militia. Congress provides the arms for the militia. Congress calls up the militia. You don`t just get to be a militia on your own.

Congress shall have the power to call for the militia, execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions.

I think there`s a lot of people who don`t understand what the Second Amendment actually means in context of the whole Constitution. Right? Right. The confusion is I can just be a militia by myself. And a well-regulated militia just means…

Don`t be afraid to call out the traitors who performed an armed insurgency against the Constitution of the United States on January 6th.
