Arizona Republicans Sue State's Election Chief Over New Voting Manual

The lawsuit claims the manual undermines election integrity and was released without sufficient public comment.

National and local Republican groups in Arizona have filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, challenging the new Election Procedures Manual.
The lawsuit alleges the manual undermines election integrity by weakening safeguards against non-citizen voting and limiting challenges to early ballots.
The Republicans claim the manual was released with insufficient public comment time and violates Arizona law, demanding its revocation or adjustment.
Fontes' office has declined to comment on the pending litigation but previously stated they are prepared to defend the manual designed to ensure free and fair elections.
The dispute highlights ongoing concerns over election integrity among Republicans following the 2020 presidential election.
