Dr. Frank's claim that every single county in the US moves in lockstep with a 6th degree polynomial (whether that polynomial changes by county or state I don't remember) implies that every single county is crooked. That doesn't seem possible.

He needs to lay out the evidence more clearly. He said in a speech to the Kansas legislature that others had asked him to "explain it to them like they were kindergartners". Well he needs to explain it to others like they have PhDs (or at least masters degrees) so they can check and comment.

Thank you for cranking out the numbers and checking.

Thanks for putting this out Earl. I agree with your analysis and I think the weakness in Johnson County's election process stemmed, not from a controlling algorithm, but rather poor controls around mail in voting. Those weak controls in 2020 and 2021 included signature verification, poorly monitored drop boxes, separating the ballot from the accompanying ballot envelope, and failures in the best practice for retrieving ballots. I know that since then, 3 of those 4 issues have been cleaned up to some degree, but continued citizen vigilance is needed.
