The state Democratic Party wants a federal judge to block what it claims are planned voter intimidation tactics by the Republican Party and the Trump campaign.
In a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court here, attorney Mark Elias claims the GOP nominee has a goal of “voter suppression.” Elias said Trump is carrying that out “by using the loudest microphone in the nation to implore his supporters to engage in unlawful intimidation at Arizona polling places.”
And Elias cited comments that state Republican officials gave to Capitol Media Services earlier this year as proof of their role in the effort.
