Members of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club are suing to block proposed election rules that ban people from photographing and approaching voters who use ballot drop boxes.

Attorneys for the group contend those rules in the new Elections Procedures Manual amount to attacking the speech of its members in violation of the First Amendment.

There are some restrictions within 75 feet of voting locations.

The new manual says following people delivering ballots to drop boxes, even outside that perimeter, could be intimidation.

In 2022, a judge issued an injunction against another conservative group whose members, some armed, monitored and videotaped voters on unfounded claims that boxes were being filled with fake ballots.
