What Happened in Cuyahoga County, OH?
President Trump won Ohio and I think Ohio was recently certified for President Trump. So this does not really matter much anymore.
But I thought it was interesting to see the county trend in Ohio regarding the largest counties and how they voted.
I call out Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), because there was basically no change from 2016. This is a Democrat stronghold that Hillary won by ~36% and Biden won by ~34%.
But it seems extremely odd that almost every other large county in Ohio saw thousands of votes difference in the margins between 2016 and 2020, while Cuyahoga County only saw a 583 vote margin difference. And in the direction of President Trump!
The counties with the largest vote margin differences:
Franklin County (Columbus) — 46,040
Hamilton County (Cincinnati) — 26,326
Montgomery County (Dayton) — 7,923
Delaware County (Delaware, just north of Columbus) — 7,895
I find it interesting that each of those counties has a college town in it. (Or nearby in the case of Delaware County).
Franklin County — Ohio State University (61,391 2019 enrollment)
Hamilton County — University of Cincinnati (46,388 2019 enrollment)
Montgomery County — University of Dayton (11,241 2019 enrollment)
Here is the increase in Democrat voter turnout for each of these counties:
Cuyahoga (Cleveland) — +17,905 (+4%)
Franklin (Columbus) — +57,946 (+16%)
Hamilton (Cincinnati) — +30,547 (+14%)
Montgomery (Dayton) — +7,923 (+11%)
I guess this is why one of Joe Biden’s last rallies before the election was in Cleveland.
In addition, notice that of the counties that Hillary Clinton won in 2016, Joe Biden increased Hillary’s vote margin over Trump only in the counties with college towns in them. If you look again at the chart above, you notice that President Trump flipped Lorain and Mahoning counties.
This may all be coincidence, but I still find it extremely odd that Democrats increased turnout in Democrat-stronghold Cleveland by only 4% and only had their biggest vote gains in counties with college towns.
Was this part of their voter fraud strategy across the country? If you look at Michigan in Washtenaw County (location of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan), you see there is +28,000 vote increase from 2016 (+22%).
ABOUT
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?”
Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.
That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?” — Professor John Keating, Dead Poets Society (1989)

Rorschach’s Journal. November 12th, 1985: Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout “Save us!”… and I’ll whisper “no.”

“You see, Doctor, God didn’t kill that little girl. Fate didn’t butcher her and destiny didn’t feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night, He didn’t seem to mind. From then on I knew… God doesn’t make the world this way. We do.“

“And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked away. Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men. —Monsignor, Boondock Saints (1999)

“Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath we shall hunt them down. Each day, we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies. Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil, we urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over, into true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three. And on that day, you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish. And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patri. Et Fili. Spiritus Sancti.” —Boondock Saints (1999)
