During a presentation for the monthly Guardians of Liberty meeting on Tuesday, June 18, in Jackson, physicist Douglas Frank shared his thoughts and experiences regarding election fraud since the 2020 presidential election, claiming to have evidence of widespread fraud occurring all across the country.

After President Joe Biden won the election in 2020 over then-president Donald Trump, Frank felt compelled to share his views on widespread election fraud. Since then, Frank has toured the country, giving more than 600 presentations in the past 3 1/2 years and energizing audiences to “take back your elections.” During the process, en route to one of the 48 states he’s visited, he came to a simple conclusion.

“I can give you long technical mathematical proofs that are absolutely airtight that our elections are not real,” Frank said. “But that doesn’t work, it doesn’t do anything.”

Frank encouraged event attendees to form a team and follow his seven-step process — which includes getting connected, getting organized, implementing the plan, doing the groundwork, building the movement, reviewing progress and receiving local empowerment — to avoid future election interference.

“I bet you can take back your elections here,” Frank said to the 80 people in attendance. “When we say that, we’re not accusing your local officials of corruption, by the way. The problem isn’t your local officials. The problem is that your state system is controlling your elections. It’s not controlled locally.”

Frank’s method

Frank received a doctorate in surface electroanalytical chemistry from the University of Cincinnati in 1990 and has published over 60 scientific, peer-reviewed papers. When it comes to elections, Frank now appeals to more intangible subjects.

“What matters is that your mind, your perception, you know that something’s not right. What needs to happen is your community needs to go, ‘Yep, something’s wrong with this,’” Frank said. “That’s how we win. We teach a community that their elections are not real, how they’re being stolen and what to do about it.”

Frank prepares slide decks and graphs full of voting data, showcasing slides pertinent to local county voting data, including Cape Girardeau County. According to him, it’s clear as to why.

“Your counties are a disaster, and yours is less of a disaster,” Frank said. “But that’s why we can be successful here. Because you guys have the right kind of leadership.”

Frank uses statistics to indicate the importance of each graph. While he explains the basics of each graph, it’s important to fully understand the data by taking a deeper dive. He also uses data found on the U.S. Census website, census.gov, and from Secretaries of State to compare the proportion of voters registered, to the proportion of people who voted in the 2020 election, which he alleges will be the same across all counties in the state.

“If I assume that that ratio is identical in every county, I predict this light blue curve is underneath the red curve, that you can hardly see, where the correlation coefficient (for Cape Girardeau County is 0.999),” Frank explained. “In other words, you don’t even need to have an election, I can tell you how many people of every age are going to vote in your county. That’s very suspicious.”

The term R-value, or “correlation coefficient”, measures the strength of a linear relationship between two variables. In most applications, it demonstrates how one set of numbers can be compared to another, but it cannot be used to show cause and effect.

“You’ll notice you’ve got dirty voter rolls, because too many people are registered to vote, especially in the older ages. And I’ve done this for every one of your counties,” Frank said. “So why would every one of your counties vote exactly the same? And that’s not believable. That ain’t natural buddy.”

Frank validates these points based on the statistics provided by the government and the graphs he created, using algorithms he has created but doesn’t share.

“I can spend a whole hour teaching you this, but I don’t think I need to,” Frank said. “I think you’ve got the point that all your counties are voting exactly in the same proportion.”

Frank’s claims included too many old people being registered to vote, counties voting exactly the same as every other county in that same state and even “an algorithm controls the number of people in the voter rolls, and they will inflate it to whatever that number is.” For Frank, it’s the basis for why elections are worth devaluing in the first place.

“Why are we not going to comply,” Frank said. “Because here’s the evidence that our elections are disenfranchising us from our constitutional rights because that gives you the standing to do so and you can hold your county officials accountable.”

During an interview with Southeast Missourian reporters, Frank said, “Statistics are never proof. They just tell you where to look,” in regard to the correlation coefficient-dependent data.

“Statistics are the smoke, and this is just one correlation,” Frank said. “I’ve done a dozen.”

Alleged fraud in Missouri

Frank said he “cut his teeth” in Missouri when first investigating alleged election fraud in 2021, meeting multiple times, along with My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, with Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft and U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt to prove the state’s voting machines could be easily hacked.

After Lindell lost his temper at one point and the pair were asked to leave, Frank said he had a private conversation with Ashcroft where he allegedly convinced the Secretary of State to meet with him if he could find 100 instances of voter fraud in Missouri. Frank claimed to have found 270 cases with a team of canvassers and presented the information to Ashcroft.

Frank said his team had made a mistake during the process, so they got back to work and allegedly found another 570 cases of fraud in the state. After which, Frank claimed Ashcroft declined to meet with him.

“We brought that down, and did he ever do a formal investigation? No. So right to our faces, he’s not kept his end of the deal,” Frank said. “When I say that Ashcroft didn’t fix your elections, I’m not saying that he’s an evil person, necessarily. They may be saying, ‘We’re going to take you out, we’re going to kill your wife, we’re going to rape your children,’ whatever it is. There’s pressure on these people at the top.”

‘We are at war’

Throughout his presentation, Frank often used the phrase, “We are at war,” and instructed attendees to “have your militia, up and going” in preparation for more alleged election fraud and potential political violence erupting in November.

Frank told the crowd a story about New Mexico’s Democratic governor Michelle Lujan Grisham imposing a temporary suspension on open and concealed carry of firearms in response to multiple shootings that killed children in 2023. According to Frank, a Democratic sheriff refused to enforce the law, and approximately 50 armed protestors took to the steps of the state capitol.

While reminiscing about a presentation he gave in Buffalo, New York, Frank told the story of New Mexico’s attempted gun ban and said, “The faces of the people in the audience went white.”

“What would happen if 50 of you witnessed a demonstration like this?” Frank said he asked the audience in Buffalo. “They said, ‘Oh, the state police would come out and arrest every one of us.’ I said, ‘What?!’ and he goes, ‘Yeah, we’re not even allowed to own a gun in New York without a permit.’ They can’t even own a gun without a permit.

“I said, ‘What would happen if 100 of you wore guns and stood on the steps of the capitol?’ They said, ‘Twice as many state police would arrest us.’ Then I said, ‘What about if 1,000 of you went out there and stood on the steps?’ The room was silent and somebody said, ‘Oh, that might work.’

“Now you know, your homework assignment. You have the duty and you have an obligation to nullify any law or any policy which is violating your constitutional rights, and this policy is doing that.”

While Frank encouraged the audience to utilize their Second Amendment rights of bearing arms and maintaining a well-regulated militia, he also said, “We need to fight the First Amendment war so that it doesn’t become a second.” Frank regaled the audience with a story about a protest in Shasta County, Calif., where he and his supporters “wrote songs about the county clerk because she was undermining our work and collaborating with the Secretary of State.”

He claimed the protests resulted in the clerk, who was unnamed in his story, taking a medical leave for anxiety and depression. The statement drew laughter from the crowd.

“We fought a First Amendment war where we basically said, ‘We’re not going to tolerate you undermining the work we’re doing in our county because we’re the sovereigns,’” Frank said. “We don’t ask for permission. They work for us. Our Constitution is set up where we’re the government, not them, and the problem is we’re upside down.

“What do we do when ANTIFA comes to town? We want to call the sheriff. That’s wrong. When ANTIFA comes to town, you’re supposed to grab your rifle. You’re supposed to call your neighbors. and you’re supposed to meet ANTIFA in the street.”
