An extensive new report from NBC News details the ways that Republican canvassing operations in states such as Nevada are riddled with problems that include canvassers "cheating" by lying about the number of local homes they've visited.
One particularly prominent example cited in the story involves a Republican canvasser who claimed to have knocked doors all around a Southern Las Vegas neighborhood, even though they actually spent the day lounging in the Caesar's Palace casino.
According to data reviewed by local GOP officials, this was not an isolated incident.
"A half-dozen Republican-aligned field operators working on various races in Nevada, Georgia and Oregon said they encountered suspicious or fraudulent data — such as entries filed from homes that weren’t visited or falsified surveys — in 2022," the report notes.

The GOP narrowly lost races in Georgia and Nevada last year that wound up costing it control of the United States Senate.
“That’s why we’re losing elections,” one GOP operative tells NBC News. “Nobody wants to admit it."
However, other sources cautioned NBC that many of the people blaming the canvassing operation as the prime culprit for the party's disappointing performances were simply trying to draw attention away from other issues.
“I don’t think everything was done perfectly, obviously," one source told the publication. “But at the same time, there are a lot of people that have their own agenda or some other agenda for outside groups or whatever the case may be.”
