Cases of alleged intimidation at Arizona ballot boxes continue to rise
Eight more complaints of alleged voter intimidation at ballot box drop sites have been referred to local and federal law enforcement agencies by the Arizona secretary of state's office, ABC News has learned.
The newest referrals bring to 18 the total number of harassment and intimidation complaints that Arizona officials have elevated to law enforcement since early voting began in midterm elections across the state.
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is also the Democratic candidate for governor in Arizona, elevated the latest complaints to local law enforcement officials, the Arizona attorney general's office, the Justice Department, and the FBI, officials said.
"Voters should be able to cast their ballot without fear of intimidation," Hobbs' spokesperson, Sophia Solis, said in a statement to ABC News. "We encourage anyone who experiences intimidation at a voting location to contact their county recorder, Secretary of State's Office, or law enforcement."
