Interesting, the comparisons done by COVID Tracking specifically included Arizona. The comparison graph is down by the bottom of the article on the left.
What data are you looking at that shows something else?

The state's.
And maybe I should have been more clear in my comments. The graph the state updates daily is accurate, and that's what is pasted in the report you linked. However, these graphs (cases and deaths) do not reflect the daily totals reported, and most Arizonans only see these numbers as that's what is shown/read on TV and radio here. Nobody bothers to explain that when 185 deaths are reported on July XX, those are actually deaths that were recorded over a period that goes as far back as March due to the COVID death harvesting effort by the state.
So other than more deaths and far more cases being reported than are real, the graphs the state publishes are a good representation. It's the "daily box score" that is inaccurate, and paints a very different picture than the graphs themselves.
