Judge Rejects Motion to Bar Group From Monitoring Arizona Ballot Drop Boxes – By Nicole Wells (Newsmax) / Oct 28, 2022
Saying that it would infringe on “core constitutional rights,” a federal judge rejected a request on Friday to prohibit a group that wants to monitor ballot drop boxes in Arizona’s Maricopa County, according to The Hill.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi ruled against plaintiffs Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans and Voto Latino, saying the groups failed to make their case against defendant Clean Elections USA.
“Plaintiffs have not provided the Court with any evidence that Defendants’ conduct constitutes a true threat,” the judge wrote. “On this record, Defendants have not made any statements threatening to commit acts of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group of individuals.”
Liburdi also removed Voto Latino from the case, saying the group did not have standing to bring the lawsuit, and said the case remained open, according to the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
