OAN claimed he was an ‘expert mathematician’ with evidence Trump won. He is a swing set installer

1
One week after Joe Biden was sworn in as President One America News (OAN) aired a segment featuring a man they introduced as an "expert mathematician" who claimed to have uncovered evidence of election rigging and that Donald Trump actually won re-election. That man, according to a lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems Tuesday against the far right wing media outlet, is not an expert mathematician, but a swing set installer and convicted drug dealer.

Back on January 27 OAN hosted Ed Solomon, "who claimed to have found evidence within precinct-level reporting that the election was rigged by an algorithm," VICE reports. "The basis of Solomon's claim is that he found several precincts throughout the country reporting exactly the same results at various times throughout the vote tabulation process."

OAN host Christina Bobb asked Solomon what the statistical probability of such an occurrence might be.

"You can use the binomial probability formula, and the chance of that event happening is one over ten to an exponent so large there's not enough stars in the universe—there's not enough atoms in the universe to explain the number. It can't happen naturally," Solomon replied.


VICE adds that Dominion's lawsuit against OAN includes "knowingly reporting defamatory claims against the company in the wake of Trump's loss. In fact, according to the lawsuit, Solomon is a convicted drug dealer and 'was working as an 'installer' at a swing set construction company in Long Island' at the time of the interview."

The same day that segment aired, Media Matters reported "OAN keeps pushing conspiracy theory that computer programs changed votes in the 2020 election."

In February FactCheck.org published a report debunking the Solomon segment, calling it "baseless."

Like many of TFG supporters he would have a problem adding 10+11 because he would run out of toes and fingers.

I don't doubt it due to the amount of precincts in the country. But please, pony up the evidence.

There was an asshole on FB responding to a nurse friend of mine on vaccinations. He claimed over 6 years of training in the bio, chem, and medical sciences and cited a bunch of really stupid bogus and mis-represented stats. His business was public so I looked it up.

Naturally the nit-wit is in a tiny town (<1100 residents), of course in the FloriDUH panhandle. And what is this medical expert's relevant business? He converts refrigerated shipping containers into tiny homes. Things give a new definition to "ugly home".

Whether I'd trust them to babysit is a different question.
Yeah, all jokes aside...
I read one article where the writer said the data he presented doesn't match any official data at all...it appears made up. Which is pretty much how the Trumpies operate. They seem to think everyone else is as gullible as they are, and then they're offended when we're not.

From the pamphlet, “Winning the Libs,” littering the floors of the GOP convention:

#6 When confronted with facts or actual evidence... feign outrage and leave the room. Heart attack or aneurisms are also effective.
"It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of non-violence to cover impotence. There is hope for a violent man to become non-violent. There is no such hope for the impotent." -Gandhi

When Trump angrily stomped out on 60 Minutes when Leslie Stahl said she was going to ask tough questions. Had he been just about any other President, even Dubya, they would have said: "That's the President's job: To answer the tough questions, especially the toughest!" and might add "Go for it!" or "Shoot!", etc.
