READ: John Rogers Dismantles Theory About Alabama Voter Fraud

On Tuesday, Democrat Doug Jones won a special election in Alabama to take over the Senate seat vacated by Republican Jeff Sessions. The campaign was hotly contested, even with multiple allegations against his Republican challenger, Roy Moore, of sexual misconduct and assault against minors.


Jones' victory marked the first time in 25 years that an Alabama Democrat has won a seat in the Senate, and it was mainly due to an overwhelming turnout from Alabama's black citizens.

And why does Rogers feel he has the authority to destroy the far-fetched theory with such precision?

Well, the fact they he's an accomplished writer in the heist and con genre certainly helps:

Rogers is the co-creator of the TNT drama Leverage, as well as a writer for The Librarians, so he clearly knows his way around a secret conspiratorial plot.

Twitter showed their admiration for Rogers' expert takedown:

Although it did make people (mock) wonder...
