Please watch this video if you wrongly believe that Benford's law
easily can be applied to elections results.

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,
