James Knox and Liz Harris address volunteers in Queen Creek on Aug. 28, 2021.
Well, the so-called evidence from a door-to-door canvass of Maricopa County voters is in and conspiracy crowd is abuzz with excitement.

“173,104 Lost Votes,” the canvass report proclaims, in bold, red letters.
“96,389 Ghost Votes.”
This, after talking to not even 5,000 voters.
Goodness.
This canvass isn’t part of the Senate’s long-awaited, thus-far unproduced audit. It was conducted by Liz Harris, a Realtor and unsuccessful Republican legislative candidate who decided to launch her own “Voter Integrity Project” last December, assembling volunteers to knock on doors.
Her SHOCKING conclusions – hey, that’s the way the far-right gossip rags are portraying it — were enough to prompt a Republican legislator who is hoping to become Arizona’s next secretary of state to call for decertifying Arizona’s 2020 election.
