As for why it works in nature, I think it's just the mathematical expression of the general concept "the larger, the fewer". There are always more smaller things than larger things, they tend to follow a certain distribution, and it is evident in the leading digits.
What are the counts in these graphs though? Total votes per district? So basically Biden has too many districts reporting large numbers are opposed to few?
nice. Anyone know why Benford's law works in nature? this is the first time I have heard of this law and it is pretty cool!
Do you have the tally of Trump's numbers as well?
