Dr. Framk’s understanding of correlation is the same as any other statistician’s understanding: You run the correlation algorithm and see what you get.

He claimed that correlation of >0.95 was unusal and suspicious. It isn't. Nobody can run it on his data because he won't release it.

However I did build a spreadsheet on Ohio counties using the 1984 Presidential election vs. the 1980 Census. and got a correlation of 0.9993874795

This predates any possibility of internet hookup and most electronic voting machinery.

“...got a correlation of 0.9993874795.”

That definitely qualifies for boldly stating “Confidence is high!”

Big cities pretty much always had voting machines—and cheated—back in 1984.
