CEC Argues Against Lawless Elections in Arizona
The Center for Election Confidence (CEC) today filed an amicus brief in RNC v. Fontes, which is currently pending before the Arizona Supreme Court. In Fontes, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes challenges the Arizona Court of Appeals determination that his office unlawfully promulgated the 2023 Arizona Election Procedures Manual (EPM), an administrative document that has the force of law and governs all election procedures in the state, in violation of the Arizona Administrative Procedures Act (APA). In the alternative, Secretary Fontes asks the Arizona Supreme Court to apply any remedy on a forward-looking basis only, which would allow his office to implement the unlawful 2023 EPM and the 2025 EPM, which was also promulgated without following the APA.
