February 12, 2022: Massive Voter Fraud Fizzle

2/12/22: Back in June, at a Trump rally in Ohio, Dr. Doug Frank, a former teacher, chemist and math afficionado was trotted out to claim – of course – that the Orange God of Mar-a-Lago had been cheated out of a second term. 

As the Cincinnati Enquirer then reported,

 

“So do you think in Ohio we had a clean election?” Douglas Frank asked the crowd.

 

“No!” they roared, despite the fact that Trump won the Buckeye State by 8 percentage points in November. 

Even better, the Enquirer noted, Frank and one of his allies were granted a two-and-a-half hour meeting with staff members in Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office. Again, we’re talking Republicans here. LaRose is a Republican. Regardless, spokesman Rob Nichols doused the conspiracy nuts with two buckets of ice cold water. 

One apiece. 

“Dr. Frank,” he insisted, “acknowledged that he does not currently possess any evidence to prove his theories about irregularities in the 2020 election, or any previous elections which he also claims were tainted.” 

Nothing daunted, Dr. Frank wiped the cold water from his face and claimed against all logic, that, “You can’t argue with the math.” 

Now, fast forward to today. How’s the hunt for massive voter fraud going? Surely, in a battleground state like Ohio the forces of evil had to be hard during the 2020 election. There had to be, as P.J. O’Rourke once joked, at least a “ding-dong-dillion” bogus votes cast for “Sleepy Joe” Biden. 

Right? 

As of today, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has referred a whopping total of five dozen, plus two, cases of possible voter fraud to the Ohio Attorney General David Yost, who will try to stop this tidal wave of criminal voting. Or not even voting. Half the cases referred appear to be non-citizens – who registered – but did not vote. A very serious crime. Like almost speeding! 

The other 31 cases involve four who voted in earlier elections, and 27 who might have voted illegally in 2020. So, out of 5,922,202 votes, we had 0.0005 percent fraud (possibly). Those 27 votes would have been enough to propel the ticket of Bodie and Stoneham, which finished tenth in Ohio (with three votes) into eighth place, surpassing the ticket of Wells and Wells, sisters who piled up 16 votes, and Hunter and Adams who had 27. 

But sure. Voter fraud is “massive!” You can’t, as Dr. Frank said last summer, “argue with math.”
