Kaleigh Rogers is joining the Election Analytics team through the end of the year as a reporter covering polling, helping readers understand what’s happening in the election and how to interpret polls.

Though Kaleigh’s first New York Times byline was actually in the Health and Science section from her past life as a science and tech reporter, she has spent most of the last decade covering politics and elections in both the U.S. and her native Canada. Kaleigh was most recently a reporter for FiveThirtyEight, where she wrote about far-right extremism and its influence on electoral politics, including election denialism and the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Prior to joining FiveThirtyEight, Kaleigh was a senior reporter at CBC, Canada’s public broadcaster, where she covered the 2019 national election, including a groundbreaking investigation into a political operative’s covert campaign against an emerging political party. She also spent more than four years as a staff writer at Vice.

Kaleigh attended the University of Western Ontario, where she majored in English as an undergraduate, and stuck around to earn her master’s in journalism.

Kaleigh joined Elections Analytics on Sept. 16. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome.
