PHOENIX — Clean Elections USA has been ordered to immediately stop using its name in Arizona.
In a new ruling, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney said the organization is not just confusing Arizonans with its name but is causing actual damage to the Citizens Clean Elections Commission.
He said the activities of the organization and its founder, Melody Jennings, have resulted in calls and emails “from angry members of the public who were confused” and who assumed it was the commission that was directing people to watch drop boxes to look for people submitting multiple ballots.
