U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi hopes to decide by Friday whether to approve an emergency order that would stop the observers.
After three hours of courtroom discussion, federal Judge Michael Liburdi says he hopes to decide by Friday whether to approve an emergency order that would stop"I understand the exigencies of the circumstances, so I'm going to work as quickly as I can," he said at the close of a hearing in U.S. District Court in downtown Phoenix on Wednesday.
Veronica Lucero, an attorney representing Jennings, pushed back. She said the proposed emergency order is too broad and would violate Jennings' rights. A separate, but similar, lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Protect Democracy on behalf of The League of Women Voters of Arizona. In addition to Clean Elections USA, it names Lions of Liberty, a right-wing group in Yavapai County. Two were from the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans and one, who flew in from New Jersey to appear in court, was from Voto Latino.
In the social media posts, Jennings shared photos of the same observers captured in voter complaints to election officials and called them"our beautiful box watchers." She also shared photos and videos of voters and their license plates.
