Arizona lawmakers hear from election conspiracy theorists

PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Republican lawmakers heard Tuesday from members of the Texas-based conservative group that provided research for a widely debunked documentary that alleges widespread voter fraud led to former President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.

Cell phone data analysis done by True the Vote was used by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza in his film “2000 Mules” to try to show that Democratic operatives were paid to illegally collect and drop off ballots in several battleground states.

Representatives from True the Vote presented their findings to eight Republican lawmakers in a livestreamed meeting at the Arizona Capitol, but they did not present new evidence to support their claims.
