In a statement released on Thursday, the Arizona Republican Party accused Fontes of misusing his office for partisan gain.
While the statement provided no concrete evidence to support these claims, it focused on the preferential treatment given by Fontes’ office to third parties that are perceived to be detrimental to Republican chances in 2024, while neglecting those that could potentially harm Democrats.

The statement specifically accused Fontes’ office of failing to notify Republicans about the Patriot Party’s filing of signatures to be recognized as a political party, thereby preventing them from challenging the legitimacy of those signatures. In contrast, the Democratic Party was allowed to observe a similar filing by the No Labels group.
The Arizona Republican Party argued that Fontes’ actions create an unfair playing field and undermine the ability of other political parties to compete. They also claimed that the Secretary of State’s office refused to provide clear images of the filings, making it impossible to verify their authenticity.
If Fontes certifies the Patriot Party as a political party, the Arizona Republican Party threatened legal action. The statement also mentioned the Green Party’s filing, which is expected to impact Democrat turnout if approved.
The Arizona Republican Party concluded by stating that Fontes’ actions contradict his professed commitment to transparency and nonpartisanship.
