The Justice Department has indicated it supports an Arizona lawsuit accusing groups monitoring ballot drop boxes of illegal voter intimidation.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is monitoring ballot drop boxes after two men in tactical gear with weapons were seen near one in Mesa, Arizona.
In its complaint filed Oct. 25, the League of Women Voters claims that organized efforts to monitor voters, sometimes carrying firearms or wearing military tactical gear, is a"scheme" that undermines voters' rights to cast ballots free of intimidation, threat or coercion.
