A federal judge has blocked a far-right activist group and its supporters from taking photos and video of people casting ballots, openly carrying firearms near ballot boxes and spreading baseless claims about election laws in Arizona, following a voting rights group’s lawsuit that accused the group of intimidating voters.
US District Judge Michael Liburdi, who was appointed by Donald Trump, issued a temporary restraining order on 1 November against Clean Elections USA and its founder Melody Jennings, who encouraged volunteers to stake out drop boxes where voters can deposit their mail-in or absentee ballots.
