Arizona secretary of state releases must-read statement in response to right-wing threats

On Wednesday, Sec. Hobbs dropped a powerful statement about these threats and our Democracy and justice. In it, Hobbs says that while she is not surprised that people are angry and are striking out it does not excuse the perpetrators of violent threats meant to intimidate people trying to protect our Democracy. “Their continued intimidation tactics will not prevent me from performing the duties I swore an oath to do. Our democracy is tested constantly, it continues to prevail, and it will not falter under my watch.”

She also calls out Trump and “members of Congress and other elected officials,” who spread false information about the integrity of these elections, reminding them that their “words and actions have consequences.”

would not threaten our democracy, but it'd be a dreadful tragedy.
