Why we checked itSpecific claim that Arizona Secretary of State Fontes is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court challenging a voter-approved, legislature-ratified citizenship proof requirement for voter registration — verifiable against court records
What we foundFontes is the named defendant in the Supreme Court case over Arizona's proof-of-citizenship law, not a party seeking to strike it down; the challengers are civil-rights organisations and his office has said it will enforce the law.
CorrectedCorrection: originally rated overstated. Changed to not supported after post-debate review on 2026-10-01. Same assertion as claim 140200 (same speaker, same event, rated not_supported). The core of the claim, that Fontes is working to dismantle the law, is contradicted by his role in the case.
