Federal Lawsuit Filed to Prevent Ballot Drop Box Watchers

2022-10-26

[REDSTATE] On Monday, a lawsuit filed by two organizations in federal court asked a judge to prevent members of Clean Elections USA from being "within sight" of ballot drop boxes in Arizona. Plaintiffs Voto Latino and Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans represented by Elias Law Group claim that Clean Elections USA’s founder and members are intimidating voters. Though, Attorney Daniel Arrellano has not alleged violence.

Arrellano implored U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi to act immediately with just 15 days remaining in the election. The plaintiffs claim that some members of the group are known to openly carry firearms or wear tactical gear. The lawsuit comes after a string of reports last week of real or imagined intimidation, with three incident reports referred from the AZ Secretary of State to the AZ Attorney General and US Department of Justice.

The lawsuit seeks more than an order keeping group members away from drop boxes, it goes as far as aiming to bar them from following, taking videos and photos of voters, potential voters, and their vehicles around the drop boxes. The group operates in Maricopa County where volunteers said to be affiliates have claimed to have set up cameras outside the county election office and another ballot drop box location. Arellano also aims to prevent Clean Elections USA founder Melody Jennings and its members from "training, organizing, or directing others to do the same."

Arellano says the Dinesh D’Souza film, 2000 Mules, is responsible for the motives of the group, which seek to deter "mules" from stuffing the ballot boxes with fraudulent votes.

#6 I am not sure why they don’t just facilitate the cheating through the regular mail. I am sure USPS personnel are not Mega MAGAfied.

#5 Marc Elias doing the devil's bidding. What are the Dems afraid of--an honest election? The voting machines and drop boxes need to be deep-sixed. Zuckerberg ouught to be indicted for his 2020 election-rigging. Elections ought to be on one day and votes verified and hand-counted.

#4 The Elias Law Group, a 'boutique' firm that was formed less than a year ago by Marc Elias, formerly a partner at Perkins Coie. PC was the go-to legal firm used by Hillary Clinton. If you sniff and smell dung, Marc Elias is probably nearby.
