The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office has forwarded four new reports of voter intimidation near ballot drop boxes to state and federal law enforcement, and it is asking the FBI to investigate a death threat sent to Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and the state election director.

One voter, whose name was redacted from a report to the Department of Justice, said they were harassed by a group of people wearing camouflage who took photos of them when they were dropping off their ballot at the drop box at Maricopa County’s election center near downtown Phoenix.
The people in camouflage wouldn’t give their names or what group they represented when the voter asked.
Another couple, both 70 years old, also reported being watched by a group of young men who said they were taking photos for election security as the couple dropped off their ballots at a box in Mesa last week.
Those complaints of intimidation, along with two others, were referred to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office for further investigation.
