Imagine it was more than a week after the tax filing deadline, and your accountant still couldn’t tell you how much money your business grossed and netted the previous year. In light of his struggle producing an accurate and trustworthy result, would you be confident that he ever could do so? You might rather assume there was something wrong with the accountant, your system, or both.
More than a week after election day, we still have states counting votes — in history’s most powerful and ostensibly most advanced civilization. In contrast, Ohio delivered its results around midnight on election day, four and a half hours after polls closed.
Is it coincidence, then, that Ohio not only bucked other Rust Belt results by going for Trump, but that it did so by more than eight points?
If the testimonial of election worker Gabriel Williams is any indication, perhaps not. He attributes the Buckeye State’s apparently more reliable and more fraud-free electoral result to its new SAFE (Secure, Accurate, Fair, Efficient) voting system. He also calls the way in which we hold our national elections “ridiculous and inexcusable.”
He can say that again. Ohio has 11.69 million people, somewhat more than Michigan, somewhat less than Pennsylvania. “We had the same problems other states face with mail-in and absentee ballots and their prompt delivery,” Williams also relates, writing at American Thinker. “We had the same issues with large voter turnouts.”
Moreover, because Ohio governor Mike DeWine “is indistinguishable from Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer right now, we have the same COVID-related difficulties that Democrat strongholds claim to be laboring under,” he continues. “Ohio processed (according to the current numbers listed in the MSN state tracker) about 5,678,149 votes, which is closely comparable to (but higher than) the numbers stalled-count Michigan is currently reporting at 5,435,173.”
Yet Michigan and Pennsylvania — and even Nevada, which has less than one-fourth as many votes to count as Ohio — are still calculating results. This brings us to the oft-ignored point: If you have to, for days upon days, count and count and count and count, we can’t count on you. For whatever the reality and magnitude of vote fraud, there’s no reason to feel assured that such a result is valid (more on this later).
