A report concerning an alleged voter intimidation incident in Arizona is now with the U.S. Department of Justice.
The alleged incident happened on the evening of Oct. 17, at a ballot drop box in Mesa, and the incident is one of a handful of incidents that have popped up in the days ahead of Election Day in November.
According to the report, a voter claimed he and his wife were followed, filmed, and called a ‘mule' by a group of people. The two were followed out of the parking lot.
The report was sent by Arizona's Secretary of State to the Justice Department.
"They are allowed to drop off their own ballot, and ballots of family or household members, and the people doing the watching have no idea if those people are dropping off any other ballots than their own," said Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

Lake is responsible for this with her lies about the 2020 election being rigged.
Harassment such as this and worse is happening across the country. MAGA Republicanism and their phony Stop the Steal movement has been recruiting and mobilizing activists to hit polling places to pester poll workers, harangue election officials, and hound voters. They are demanding to personally inspect election equipment and they take photographs and video in the buildings and on the grounds and of fellow citizens.
Conspiratorialists who promote the 2020 BIG LIE about the election being stolen have been told "Good Hunting, " by the likes of Steve Bannon & election denying candidates. "For all of you on the team observing the polls, Good Hunting.” wrote one candidate on Telegram. “You know what you are looking for. We have the enemy on their back foot, press the attack.”
In the two years since the defeated and disgraced former guy and his allies tried to defraud the American people by overturning the 2020 election, groups of right-wing activists have banded together, spreading Trump's false claims of widespread election fraud and misconduct. Now those activists are inserting themselves in the vote count, with an aggressive effort to monitor voting in search of evidence that confirms their loony theories. Many of these ignorant, fear-mongered busybodies have been mobilized by some of the same people who tried to overturn Trump’s defeat in 2020.
Steve Bannon and Fox News Tucker Carlson & MAGA Republican candidates, aka election deniers, have outlined their tactics including a range of challenges they've pre-planned. They offer classes on how to be disruptive at the polls, courses on how to question and seed doubt on voting equipment and election integrity, promote methods to smear workers and plot aggressive litigation strategies, and how to conduct voter and ballot challenges and their vigilante claims of fraud.
According to Bannon, on his show, “We are 100 times more prepared now. We’re going to adjudicate every battle.” These corrupt charlatans are trying to legitimize the myth of stolen elections. They are assaulting free & fair elections which undermines our very democracy in this nation.
Over 60% of Americans will have a MAGA Republican election denier on their ballot in 2022. Big Lie Trump promoters, MAGA Republican religious zealots and conspiracy peddlers of all stripes are Trump MAGA candidates. They believe the only votes that matter are those cast for the GOP. Most, when asked, refuse to say they will accept the results if they lose. Democracy is on the line. Putting these GOP candidates in power could upend the crucial American ideal of free and fair elections and our very democracy. The MAGA sanctioned intimidation, vigilantism and bullying of Americans trying to exercise their right to vote is not only shameful, it is absolutely horrifying, IMO.
Michigan county hires ‘Stop the Steal’ ringleader to recruit poll workers
Macomb County election clerk says Genevieve Peters, who urged protesters ‘forward’ on Jan. 6, is now engaged in ‘training and teaching.’ https://www.politico.com/news/2022/1...rkers-00061564
Election officials brace for disruptions as midterms loom
This year’s election could be at risk of threats, interference and misinformation that has been building over the last two years since the proliferation of stolen election claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters has taken hold, experts say.
“We’re definitely concerned and prepared,” said Ben Popp, a researcher for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism. https://www.ajc.com/news/election-of...BPAMIVBIVISX4/

The cynic in me thinks Hobbs is jumping all over this because:
1) Polls (as well as continued criticism for not debating)
2) It was reported this week that her Secretary of State Office mailed out 6,000 illegal ballots
3) It was also reported this week that she's been to her SoS office just 19 times in 6 months

Not a good couple of weeks for any candidate.
And add spilling her soda when a scary black man from Project Veritas wanted to ask her a few questions about why she doesn't want to talk to anyone! The horror!

LOL. Hobbs is done. She can call Biden's justice department all she wants. She will follow the Democrat talking points line by line with the voter suppression broken record until election day and after. Hopefully the next employer that gives her a job they have to make sure she doesn't scam them and shows up to work.
19 times in 6 months is really a red flag. Add the 3 million dollars she cost the taxpayers for her discrimination and it makes Hobbs trash. No wonder Kelly doesn't want anything to do with her.
