"Right, but you only get things that satisfy Benford's if it's a multiplicative fluctuation. This is all straight additive that we're dealing with since we're straight counting votes, no? So we'd want a normal probability distribution. It'd make more sense."

Is this true? From another number cruncher.

Here we have 5 following the Law, 1 which doesn't. Why do no other candidates have even distribution?

Find the distribution for your county/state. Build the Info.

I keep thinking the third party folks are getting screwed too when I see these graphs together. I'm betting a good chunk of their votes are dumped and turned into a Biden vote to make the race look more legit.

Imagine you have a set of numbers, where each number started counting from one until it reached its total. Things like bank account totals and expenses are good examples.

The curve represents the frequency of what the starting digit of that total is across the dataset

So 342 would be 3.

73028->7

4->4
