Why is LaRose asking Ohio to investigate voter fraud cases that prosecutors believe have no merit?

[RandySF]

In his hunt for unsubstantiated widespread voter fraud, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has accused county prosecutors of purposely ignoring his referrals of possible election rigging. On the other hand, law enforcement officials are offended by his “baseless attack,” explaining the secretary’s “cases” of fraud have no merit.

The Republican secretary, despite touting that Ohio is the “gold standard” of elections, is blaming county officials for not pursuing alleged fraud.

There is no widespread fraud, which is why there is a lack of convictions, according to Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association’s Lou Tobin.

“When the prosecutor chases it down, it turns out there’s nothing there,” Tobin said.

Despite this, LaRose’s team complained in a letter to Attorney General Dave Yost that prosecutors have not taken up possible election fraud referrals.
