PHOENIX - A federal judge is at least temporarily blocking enforcement of a rule that could allow election workers to kick someone out of a polling place for wearing a uniform - and possibly have them arrested.
In a new ruling late Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Michael Liburdi said the rule crafted by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, goes beyond what Arizona law says is illegal.
Beyond that, the judge concluded, the rule is crafted in a way that is so vague that it provides no clear guidance for voters to determine whether what they wear will run afoul of the rules - and no clear guidance for election workers to determine which clothing is and is not allowed.
