The records also appear to reference conspiracy theorist Bobby Piton, who according to records previously obtained by American Oversight had emailed Arizona legislators in December, calling for a vote recount. Those previous records also contain emails in which both Bennett and Pullen responded to outside inquiries by saying that they didn’t know who Piton was or whether he was involved.
The new records contain texts exchanged by Pullen and Liz Harris, a former Republican state legislative candidate who has been organizing direct canvassing operations that experts warn could amount to voter intimidation. On Dec. 16, Harris forwarded to Pullen a Dec. 16 text from “Bobby” requesting multiple decades’ worth of detailed voter information from all 15 counties in Arizona, not just Maricopa. Harris’s canvassing operations have recently been in the news again, with Harris denying any formal connections to the audit.

'God knows the truth': AZ House GOP Rep. expelled by Republicans for ethics violations
Maya Boddie April 13, 2023
Arizona State House Republicans voted to expel Rep. Liz Harris (R) Wednesday for lying about welcoming a "conspiracy theorist" to the House to falsely testify against state lawmakers, CNN reports.
"The resolution calling for" Harris' expulsion, according to NPR, says she "engaged in disorderly behavior in violation of House Rule 1, thereby eroding the public trust in the legislative process."
NPR further notes the state GOP's "move to expel Harris, who's pushed baseless claims about the 2020 and 2022 elections, comes as members of the state's Republican Party have in recent years led Arizona to become a hive of election denialism."

"Arizona House Democrats issued a statement," according to CNN, "supporting the expulsion, saying that 'misinformation, lies and conspiracies are not harmless, and it's not just politics.' They noted that thelies presented in Breger’s televised testimony were picked up by partisan media and social media influencers."
NPR reports:
The vote came a day after the release of a House Ethics Committee report, which concluded that Harris knew, or was at least aware, that a woman she arranged to testify at the Capitol would claim, without evidence, that a host of elected officials and judges, including Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, took bribes from the Sinaloa drug cartel and committed other crimes, such as money laundering.
The woman, Gilbert, Ariz., insurance agent Jacqueline Breger, also claimed during the February hearing that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "controls" the government and played a key role in money laundering schemes.
The Democrats added, "The integrity of our institution was damaged in that moment. That damage continues to accumulate, and for that there must be accountability.
CNN reports:
Forty-six Arizona representatives in the GOP-controlled House voted to remove her from her elected position, meeting a two-thirds threshold to expel lawmakers. Thirteen members opposed her expulsion.

According to NPR, Breger did not offer "evidence to support the outlandish claims" — however, "a video of her testimony in front of election committees exploded on the internet in the days following the hearing,"prompting #CartelKatie to trend on Twitter.
GOP House Speaker Ben Toma, who NPR reports was "one of the lawmakers falsely accused of criminal activity," emphasized "that was problematic enough to merit the ethics investigation and expulsion.
He added, "Each member could make up their own mind on whether or not Rep. Harris did, in fact, not only perpetrate this to begin with, but then contradict herself numerous times during the ethics hearing process."
According to NPR, the report noted the GOPer "lied to the panel when she claimed she had no idea Breger would make such wild accusations.
Furthermore, The Washington Post reports Harris said prior to the House vote, "I didn't lie and God knows the truth. The truth will come out," and following the vote, the ousted lawmaker "quietly left the House floor after the roll call vote."

Republicans in Arizona are in the midst of an internal battle after they hosted a panel of election conspiracy theorists last week who implicated some of them in a supposed drug cartel bribery scandal.
The Arizona Mirror reports that Republican Arizona House Speaker Ben Toma called out freshman Arizona State Rep. Liz Harris by name in denouncing her role in organizing the hearings, which featured allegations of criminal activity leveled against Mesa Mayor John Giles and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer, both of whom are Republicans.
“What should have been a joint hearing to examine commonsense election reforms devolved into disgraceful fringe theater,” he said. “I’m not alone in believing that it was irresponsible and bad judgment for Ms. Harris to invite a person to present unsubstantiated and defamatory allegations in a legislative forum.”
Republican Arizona State Sen. T.J. Shope endorsed Toma's comments on Twitter and said that the hearing was "a disgrace and an embarrassment to the Arizona Legislature."
While the bribery allegations were initially limited just to Giles and Richer, the man behind them subsequently implicated MAGA favorite State Sen. Wendy Rogers in an interview in the days after the hearing.
Although Rogers was initially supportive of the election conspiracy theory hearings, she put out a statement earlier this week saying that the legislative hearing was not an appropriate place to level allegations of criminality against serving Republican officials.
There is no evidence that any of these officials have taken any bribes from drug cartels.
