"In my effort to affirm nearly 100,000 Arizonans who hadn’t yet provided citizenship documentation into fully registered voters, the Republican Party and state legislative leaders joined the initiative,” Fontes said. “Their involvement was not out of concern for non-citizen voting—which they know isn’t an issue—but because more Republicans would have been affected, potentially altering legislative control and impacting certain initiatives. This was about political self-preservation. At this point, Arizona Republicans can no longer credibly claim that their concern is non-citizen voting.”
Never listen to what the GOP says, look instead to what actions they take, as that is a much better gauge of their thinking. Actions speak louder than words.
