Arizona House Expels Republican Rep. Liz Harris in Historic Vote.
The Arizona House has expelled freshman GOP Rep. Liz Harris for inviting a speaker who spread baseless accusations of drug cartel bribery and election rigging by elected officials, judges, and others. The House expelled Harris by a 46-13 vote, with a majority of her fellow Republicans voting to remove her from the GOP-controlled chamber. Harris is only the fifth member of the Arizona Legislature to be expelled. Her district will now nominate three candidates to fill the vacancy, and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will choose which candidate will fill the rest of Harris's two-year term.
