PHOENIX — A pollster testified Thursday that Kari Lake would have won except for problems at vote centers in Maricopa County.
Richard Baris estimated up to 40,000 people who intended to vote chose did not. And he attributed that to them being deterred by what they were seeing in person or hearing on the media about long lines at some polling places.
More to the point, Baris, director of Big Data Poll, said Republicans are more likely to go to the polls on Election Day and the results from those who did vote that day skewed heavily for Lake. Extrapolating that out, he said, would mean most of those missing votes would have gone for the Republican contender.
