Rich Baris, a well-known pollster who testified at Kari Lake’s election challenge trial on Thursday, said that the extent of voter suppression in Maricopa County last month was so severe as to sway the election results against her.
In an unexpected turn of events, Big Data Poll found that 20 percent more individuals cast mail-in votes than they did on Election Day. In his testimony concerning his company’s exit polling of the outcomes of the election on November 8, Baris brought this discovery to the court’s notice.

The director of the polling company spoke about how each respondent agreed to participate before casting their ballots.
“The bottom line here is that those who said they would cast their vote by mail or drop their ballot off by mail completed their questionnaire at a 93 percent rate,” The 7 percent decline in survey completion was projected, according to Baris, therefore a dip in participation was to be expected.
“The rate for Election Day voters was only 72 percent,” Baris said. “I can tell you that has never happened to me before, ever.”
“There’s no explanation for why these voters simply did not come back. They didn’t cast their ballot. There’s always going to be a difference, but the difference here is … roughly 20 percentage points,” stated the pollster.
“These people didn’t complete this questionnaire because they didn’t vote. They didn’t get to vote,” Baris came to an end.
KNXV- 160 Maricopa County individuals participated in Baris’ survey on Election Day, according to TV political commentator Garrett Archer.
Due to issues with ballot printers and tabulators, there were long queues at polling stations in Maricopa County on election day for Arizonans. Unfortunately, these problems prevented some voters from casting ballots.
County authorities refuted Lake’s legal team’s claims that most polling places had issues, saying that just around one third of them had issues.
Many voters in Anthem, north of Phoenix, have found the voting procedure to be time-consuming, with lineups reaching two hours long both during peak voting hours in the evening. This demonstrates the local community’s undeniable excitement for speaking up at this crucial juncture.
Lake argues that a severe type of disenfranchisement is to blame for the stark disparity between Republican and Democrat voter participation on Election Day.
The results of Archer’s study confirmed the accuracy of the statistic.
Lake found himself in a worse situation than he had imagined on election day. Despite facing a huge 183,000 vote deficit against Katie Hobbs on Tuesday night and behind by double digits in early voting totals, he amazingly managed to reduce the disparity to just 12,000 votes, or less than 1%, by Wednesday morning.
After a close race, Hobbs prevailed with about 17,000 more votes than their rival. In the end, mail-in votes cast on election day ensured this extraordinary triumph!
A projected 50,000 voters were absent from the polls on Election Day, according to Baris’ exit polling data, an unprecedentedly high percentage of eligible voters. These figures, which are “admittedly very large” highlight how crucial it is to guarantee that everyone’s voice is heard at pivotal moments for our democracy.
On the surface, it seemed like Hobbs had won the election over Lake; but, when he testified in court, confirming the widespread mayhem and disarray brought on the Covid-19 safety requirements at several polling places around the state, Lake’s prospects of winning increased significantly.
“In my professional opinion, the amount of Election Day voters that we’re talking about here, with the margin, would have changed the outcome of the race, and the number is substantial enough to have changed who the overall winner was in this race,” said Baris.
Added he, “I have no doubt” Despite a good showing, election day unrest abruptly stopped Lake’s momentum.
In his testimony before the court, Baris claimed to have gained a plethora of expertise in exit polls and election predictions during the course of his six-year career as director of Big Data Poll. Baris formerly had a job at People’s Pundit Daily where he furthered his experience. One may claim that he has gained expertise in exit polls between 2014 forward.
According to Baris’ testimony, Election Recon named Big Data Polling as one of the most precise predicting techniques for the 2022 midterm elections despite it not being included in FiveThirtyEight’s polls.
