Include that wikipedia immediately made edits trying to discredit Benford's Law. Our democracy is being murdered with the thunderous applause from the commies masquerading as liberals

Democracy is a lie. I can't vote in in the chairmen of the FED.

It's probably better certain jobs aren't filled via popularity contest.

hey, guess what? benfords law is bullshit.. we dont need no calculus or other high level math to figure out that there was massive vote fraud.

Jobs that have created permanent public debt?

I didn't see anything like that.

Even if it isn't, election fraud is a serious accusation and it should be investigated properly. I didn't vote for Donald, nor do I even like him, but if there is reasonable suspicion of a crime, it should be investigated.

depends what the actual distribution of the whole numbers (not just leading digit) looks like. The "Benford's Law" distribution for leading digits would be expected for distributions with uniformly distributed logarithm over some orders of magnitude. For more narrow distributions, it shouldn't hold.

In the event that these numbers are, say, the number of voters per geographic zone, and these zones are similar in number of total voters, and the voting habits in each zone don't vary a lot, it makes sense for the less popular candidates to more closely follow Benford's law, because the number of votes is smaller and proportionally more random. Errors add in quadrature etc.

Does anyone have the data that was used to produce this? I'd be interested to take a look!

Apparently it was released by the red elephants with other statistics. https://theredelephants.com/there-is-undeniable-mathematical-evidence-the-election-is-being-stolen/

The voting distribution that violates the Benfords law is following a normal distribution. This means that when the average of the normal distribution reaches around 500-700, then Benfords law gets violated as expected. The question is really why the voting distribution is a normal distribution in these counties. Fraud or natural?
