Ohio AG Announces 6 Voter Fraud Indictments
Is there enough voter fraud to change the results of a general election? I don’t believe that has ever been the case.
Is there enough voter fraud to swing a local election? I would say that is 100% possible.
To that point, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost just announced six voter fraud indictments this week, only two weeks away from the general election.
It’s Present
During the 2020 election, election officials' key phrase was that there was not “enough” widespread voter fraud to impact the election.
My question is why do we have voter fraud at all? Why is any level of fraud seemingly acceptable with the technology we have available today?
As I have told you guys before, I grew up in Philadelphia, a city notorious for election fraud, where elections were sometimes won by less than a dozen votes.
In fact, just a few years ago, it was revealed that a judge had won his race by single digits and had fraudulently placed about a dozen votes, which ultimately handed him the win.
Ohio has been trying to clean up its act, with the Secretary of State having referred roughly 600 cases of possible voter fraud.
Of those cases, 138 included allegations of illegal voting, and out of all those allegations, Yost found six prosecutable cases.
Even though these individuals will be indicted, if found guilty, they are not likely to go to jail. More than likely, they will face a fine of some sort.
Yost explained, “Absent criminal history or being part of a criminal enterprise, I don’t see these as being good use of expensive state prison beds.
“That being said, this is important. The right to vote is sacred. It is part of our exercise of sovereignty as a self-governing people.
“If you’re not a citizen, you don’t get a say, period, and there ought to be consequences if you act differently.”
Yost also seemed a bit upset that his Secretary of State had wasted his time on so many investigations that turned up nothing, stating, “I need to have a sit-down with the secretary of state about the value of those cases where there was no voting—I think that we ought to be focusing on the voting.”
“I’m thinking that I don’t really want to pull people off of officer-involved critical incident investigations, child rapists, murderers to be chasing voter registration cases for past elections.”
He further stated that everyone needs to “take a deep breath” and have more confidence in our elections, but rest assured, anyone violating the law will be held accountable.
