Video: Arizona primary campaigns energize voters who endorse claims of election fraud

Like a number of other Republican contenders in the 2022 primaries, far right politicians in Arizona, including gubernatorial candidates Karrin Taylor Robson and Kari Lake and secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem, are using the disproved narrative that the 2020 election was riddled with fraud to bolster their campaigns and advocate for restrictive voting laws.
