An Arizona federal judge has temporarily ordered a group which monitors ballot drop boxes to stay at least 75 feet away from the boxes. U.S. District Judge Michael LaBerty, who is appointed by former President Donald Trump, placed this restraint on Clean Elections USA this Tuesday. Clean Elections USA is an election monitoring group. The Washington Post reports that LaBerty also told the group to correct statements

He told the daily signal the DC Council is beginning to recognize the impossibility and irrationality of throwing thousands of children out of school if they choose not to take the COVID vaccine. Cruz added, we've known for a long time now that children face much less risk from COVID-19. It's time for the D.C. Council to give parents' assurance, stop threatening their children's education, and repeal this racist vaccine mandate once and for all.
