																	outlandish 
																	claims of 
																	election 
																	fraud and 
																	was expelled 
																	from her

																	4-1 vote,

																	Maricopa 
																	County Board 
																	of 
																	Supervisors 
																	selected Julie 
																	Willoughby, 
																	a Republican

																	campaigned 
																	alongside 
																	Harris 
																	during the 
																	2022 GOP 
																	primary but 
																	later 
																	narrowly 
																	lost the 
																	general 
																	election, 
																	coming in 
																	third. (The

																	vote-getters 
																	won seats to 
																	represent

																	gubernatorial 
																	candidate 
																	who still 
																	falsely
