How much do you really know about what happens to your vote after you cast it?

In this episode of Make It Make Sense, Alabama, Neeli Faulkner sits down with Dr. Douglas Frank, a scientist, former mathematics teacher, and nationally known election-integrity activist who has spent years analyzing voter registration and election data across the country.

Dr. Frank walks us through how he analyzes voter rolls, why he believes local election officials have lost too much control over election data, and what he says he has discovered while working with citizen groups across the country.

Then we bring it home to Alabama.

Why has Alabama historically charged thousands of dollars for voter-roll data that Frank says can be obtained cheaply or even downloaded for free in some other states? What information should citizens actually be able to access? And are Alabama's election laws making our elections more transparent, or less?

We also talk about mail-in voting, local elections, school board races, the criticism surrounding Frank's work, and why he believes voters should be paying much closer attention before November.

Dr. Frank's claims and methodology have been disputed by election officials and statisticians. We invited him onto the show to explain his research, his conclusions, and the evidence he believes supports them so listeners can hear his arguments for themselves.

Because whether you agree with him or think he's completely wrong, asking questions about how our elections work shouldn't be controversial.

That's kind of the whole point of Make It Make Sense, Alabama.
