PHOENIX - The Pima County Republican Committee has filed suit to overturn some rules about what people can do in and around polling places.
Legal papers filed in federal court contend that Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has put regulations into the Elections Procedures Manual that impermissibly violate the First Amendment rights of those going there to vote as well as those who are promoting candidates and causes outside. And the committee, along with Kathleen Winn who is its chair, want U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi to not just declare those rules illegal but prevent election officials from enforcing them.
But the litigation did not originate with the county party.
