Please watch this video if you wrongly believe that Benford's law easily can be applied to elections results. https://youtu.be/etx0k1nLn78
Just watched this video and found it to be delightfully enlightening and entertaining. (Thank you Martin for posting the link.) However a question springs to mind: why is it the case that Trump's vote counts in Chicago *do* seem to follow Benford's law (at least roughly) when, as is apparently to be expected, Biden's don't? Has anyone any explanation for this? Any ideas? cheers, Rolf Turner
