A federal judge in Arizona on Tuesday granted a temporary restraining order against Clean Elections USA, a grassroots organization aimed at maintaining election integrity.
The temporary restraining order (pdf) issued by Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Michael Liburdi limits Clean Elections USA—which has been observing drop boxes in Arizona—from carrying out certain actions at the ballot boxes.
