Back on a Friday with more election questions, like this: Could voter fraud affect an Ohio presidential election?

I talked to Boards of Election directors and Ohio Secretary of State @FrankLaRose about this 👇

The short answer: no.
Think of how someone could electronically hack into a Board of Election vote-counting computer. They'd need 1 of 2 things: access to the computer room...or the computer's internet connection.

Problem #1: Boards of Election have a double-locked & coded system on every door.
Problem #2: there is one internet connection, on one computer. And it's not the vote-counting (tabulator) computer.

@FairfieldCoBOE kindly helps with the explanation 👇
So you're left trying to mess with ballots themselves. Can you? What about mail-in ballots?

There's a barcode & ID number for every absentee voter. Plus, they must provide personal info w/ ballot & sign it.

Someone would need a lot of stolen ballots, info & great forgery skills
Has it been done? Sometimes, due to a rare error (or fraud), a voter will receive a ballot at an address in a precinct where they no longer live. If they vote that ballot, it's fraudulent.

@delcoboe knows of ONE single case of that — and it was caught, and prosecuted.👇
Even in recent history, there have been so few cases of voter fraud that they couldn't even impact a tiny local election, much less the Presidential race in Ohio.

@FrankLaRose puts a stamp on it here 👇

I met a group at the Statehouse yesterday that called DeWine a “tyrant.” A woman swore an Oath of Office (below) and said she’s now governor. She said DeWine was removed by “declaration” and is officially under “house arrest.”

This language rings eerily similar to Tyler’s report
In an unrelated news conference, @GovMikeDeWine says he didn’t know about the plot but it’s despicable people would try to go around the legal process of things.
“At this point in my life I’m not shocked by anything...people in every state believe they can take the law into their own hands, that they have every right to basically go and overthrow the gov’t...it’s incumbent on all of us to denounce that, no matter where it’s coming from.”

Moderator says “there have been questions about the work your son has done in China,” Ukraine, etc.

Biden says he “later learned” his son was on the board of Burisma, then pivots to impeachment before saying “not a single, solitary thing was out of line” with himself.
Biden: “My son has not made money in terms of, what is this thing you’re talking about? China.”
Trump aims to tie Biden to his son again; Biden responses “nobody said he did anything wrong in Ukraine.” Debate moves on to Trump’s bank account in China; he says it was closed in 2015.

“I decided to run for President after that; it was before.”

2PM WITH @GovMikeDeWine: bit of a delay today on the state's end, so we're stuck staring at a familiar pandemic screen so far.

Governor's news conference set to begin in a few moments, and I'll tweet the updates here... Image
THIS IS A NEW ONE: former New Jersey governor @ChrisChristie is on the governor’s Zoom briefing today. Image
DeWine: “For my fellow Ohioans who have said that until now this virus did not impact their family...the message to them today is, it’s now serious.

We need every one of you...to be fully engaged in this battle.” Image

I’m a bit late to get started, sorry — @GovMikeDeWine chooses coffee and I’m going with an apple and Twitter for today’s coronavirus briefing.

Follow along...
Off the top, DeWine acknowledged that today's COVID-19 death count is VERY high — 87 new deaths reported.

He explains (as he did last week): those are the deaths that made it into reports over the last 24 hours, not necessarily those that *occurred* in the last 24 hours.
Here's when DeWine first acknowledged these inconsistent numbers last week

See anything wrong here? A homeowner’s association in @DublinOhio did. The HOA told homeowner Ingrid Grass that one of these yard signs had to come down.

Which do you think it was? Image
Ingrid called us after her “TRUMP 2020” sign was ordered down just 3 days after it went up.

She shared emails showing the HOA policy does not limit political signs — it limits ALL signs.

Which is fine with her, except for all other signs that don’t get cited and removed. ImageImageImageImage
“It’s selective enforcement,” Grass said to me. “It’s someone’s biased choice to enforce it on that (Trump sign), but not any of the other signs."
