People impersonating election officials are knocking on doors in Yavapai County, sheriff warns

People are knocking on the doors of Yavapai County residents and asking how they voted in the last election, while falsely claiming to represent the county recorder’s office, sheriff's office officials said.
The mysterious door-to-door survey, which has alarmed local officials, comes after the U.S. Department of Justice warned the Arizona Senate against plans to canvass voters' homes as part of an unprecedented review of November's election. Meanwhile, backers of the Senate's audit have organized their own such door-to-door efforts.
Yavapai County Recorder Leslie Hoffman said she did not know if the people knocking on doors around Prescott are working on behalf of a political organization, but raised concerns that information residents provide could result in identity theft.
“I don’t want some of our more vulnerable residents giving information and thinking they’re giving it to the recorder’s office,” she said.
Hoffman said local officials had received reports of two incidents last week in which people claiming to be from her office asked voters if they voted in the last election and who they voted for. In one case, a pair of people knocked on the door of a local resident and sought to verify the names of people living in the home. But the duo declined to produce any identification when asked, including anything verifying connection to the recorder’s office, Hoffman said.
The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office told residents the recorder would never send anyone to a residence asking survey questions or asking voters for personal information, and asked anyone approached in a similar fashion to contact local law enforcement.
Senate auditors planned similar effort
The state Senate previously planned to dispatch canvassers to the doors of Maricopa County voters and ask if those voters cast a ballot in the last election.
