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.

Continued vigilance is always needed. I'm following the money: that's a "forcing function" on what happens.

I wish I could be as optimistic as you. There seems to have been a surge of democrats registered in the 2016-2020 time frame that wasn't supported by an increase in population, and the 2022 election results skewed 10 to 15% toward democrats (based on already suspect registrations) for every single race I looked at, from statewide races down to the state representatives.

I'm going to look at the voter rolls a little more in detail in the next week or two, to see if there are any residences with an extreme amount of voters.
