Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific accusation that the current Arizona Secretary of State used official office budget funds for partisan political organizing, which is a verifiable and potentially serious charge.
What we foundNo primary source — government record, audit, or court finding — confirms that Fontes used his Secretary of State office's budget to fund partisan political organizing activities; the available evidence consists of allegations from partisan conservative outlets and a legislative funding restriction, none of which constitute verified findings.
