Is democracy safe or just safer after Democrat Adrian Fontes' victory in the race for Arizona secretary of state? Fontes joins "Sunday Square Off" to discuss what he will do as the state's chief elections officer. Fontes' opponent. State Rep. Mark Finchem, is one of several Trump-endorsed election deniers who've been defeated. Fontes served one term as Maricopa County's top elections officer and early-voting administrator. His election is historic: Fontes is the first Latino in 48 years elected to one of Arizona's executive offices and only the second in the 110 years since statehood.
