A federal judge blocked Arizona’s elections rule prohibiting clothing deemed 'intimidating' or 'harassing' at polling places, citing vagueness in enforcement standards. The ruling, issued two weeks before the July 21 primary election, favored the Pima County Republican Party and The Oversight Project, who argued the rule violated free speech. The provision, part of Arizona’s Elections Procedures Manual, was drafted by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and approved by Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes.

Pima County Republicans are challenging provisions in Arizona's 2025 Elections Procedures Manual in a U.S. District Court, arguing they violate the U.S. Constitution. Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes defend the rules, stating they align with existing state law and should not be blocked ahead of the July 21 primary.
