Groups also want a judge to stop Clean Elections USA members from following voters and taking photos and videos of them.
PHOENIX — A federal judge in Arizona said he hopes to decide by Friday whether to order members of a group to stop monitoring outdoor ballot drop boxes in the Phoenix area in an effort that has sparked allegations of voter intimidation.
Liburdi said he hoped to issue a decision by Friday but could continue to weigh the matter into the weekend. Election deniers around the United States have embraced a film that has been discredited called"2000 Mules" that claims that people were paid to travel among drop boxes and stuff them with fraudulent ballots during the 2020 presidential vote.
The secretary of state this week said her office has received six cases of potential voter intimidation to the state attorney general and the U.S. Department of Justice, as well as a threatening email sent to the state elections director.
