Voters Seek Injunction Against Right-Wing Vigilantes Intimidating Them At Arizona Ballot Drop Boxes
A group of Arizona voters is seeking a temporary restraining order against a right-wing group it accuses of intimidation at ballot drop box locations.
An association for retirees and an organization for Latino voters filed a federal lawsuit alleging Clean Elections USA and its founder Melody Jennings were violating the Voting Rights Act and civil rights law.
They accused the group of a “coordinated campaign of vigilante voter intimidation,” CNN reported.
The lawsuit alleges organized vigilante groups have already turned voters away.
It highlights three complaints submitted to election officials in the state.
They allege the group’s sometimes armed volunteers were photographing voters’ license plates and accusing voters of dropping off phony ballots.
The Arizona secretary of state’s office has referred those complaints and others to the U.S. Department of Justice.
