**Columbus, OH** – A preliminary report filed with the Ohio Secretary of State and Attorney General alleges the discovery of a complex cryptographic algorithm embedded within the state’s voter registration database. The report, compiled by Dr. Andrew Paquette, suggests that the algorithm was designed to manipulate data and could be used for fraudulent purposes.

Dr. Paquette, a researcher who previously identified similar algorithms in New York and New Jersey, has found evidence of “Modulus 8” algorithms in the voter identification numbers of Franklin, Lucas, and Montgomery counties in Ohio. This algorithm, which uses modular arithmetic, creates unusual patterns in the assigned ID numbers, potentially facilitating covert data manipulation.

Paquette’s findings were presented to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office by Dr. Jerome Corsi. The pair detailed their findings in a one-hour-and-twenty-minute meeting, showcasing scatterplots that demonstrate the alleged algorithm’s presence.

The report has sparked concern among election integrity advocates. It remains unclear whether the Ohio State Board of Elections was aware of the algorithm’s existence or its potential for manipulation.

The Ohio Secretary of State’s office has yet to comment on the allegations. Dr. Corsi states that similar investigations are underway in Pennsylvania, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Colorado, and Oklahoma.

This investigation comes amid a period of heightened scrutiny of election systems and increasing concerns about potential voter fraud. The full report and supporting documentation have been made available to the public, and the investigation continues.
