Statement from Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes on questions over the preservation of evidence

PHOENIX—In response to recent GOP questions regarding the preservation of evidence, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes released this statement: 

"There are two parts to this issue, the ballot and the envelope. The GOP asked me to sequester both as evidence. Keeping the ballots separate and uncounted is illegal, and I refuse to disenfranchise voters. But, I still have the envelopes. So if they want to sue me for something I understand the Clerk's Office is open until 5 p.m."
