Dr. Douglas Frank and the voter fraud credit line

background

A voter fraud theory strikes again! I have come to rather enjoy these, as if you just take a deep breath and remember that there was no fraud, these amount to an interesting puzzle to solve. It's just an episode of Penn & Teller "Fool Us" where the goal is to figure out how the magician does his trick. Instead of magic, we have math and data as the methods at work.

You can find the theory of Dr. Douglas G. Frank presented in a recent legal brief from Attorney Matthew DePerno (attorney for the Plaintiff, William Bailey v. Antrim County). You can also listen to him walk through the brief in an interview on rumble.

This was the most involved theory I've looked into, and the more I looked the more I found, so I shifted to my more natural, full-on Org-mode habitat in order to reproducibly analyze. The output is the PDF below, with code and data available on github if you'd like to take a look yourself!

The PDF is also on github if the embedded viewer isn't showing for you below.
