How to know that Kari Lake, Abe Hamadeh and Blake Masters are LYING when they tell voters that Trump supposedly won Arizona and it was "stolen" from him (it wasn't, he lost).

From my #TrumpLost research project.
81.74% of Arizona's Voting Age Population (VAP) according to the 2020 Census lived in its two largest Metropolitan Areas - Metro Phoenix and Metro Tucson. Biden won both of these Metro areas.
Even before the Election of 2020, Trump-endorsed candidates did not necessarily do great in Arizona, especially in statewide elections.
Trump might have great support among Republicans in Arizona. But Republicans in 2020 only made up 35.24% of the state's registered voters. Democrats made 32.20% of the registered voters and they grew at a higher pace in 2020 prior to the election.
Trump did very well outside of the largest metro areas in Arizona - a very large part of the state's geography. But also a place where a lot actual fewer people live.
Land doesn't vote.
All these conspiracy theories came out about election machines, "mules," etc.
So why is it that the exit polls, polls that asked actual voters who they voted for after they voted, not processed in any way by voting machines, roughly matched the official outcome of the races?
Same thing in Pima County. People surveyed by exit pollsters said they voted for Biden by roughly the same margin that the official vote count implied.
Look at these various factors among all the states Trump claimed were "stolen" from him. See some similarities?
Trump's party fared poorly in other elections there during his term. Not just the 2020 Presidential election.
