the benfords claim is weak, I ran the numbers on the 2016 election yesterday and the trend for Hillary was essentially the same, the votes per ward doesn't span enough orders of magnitude to properly use benfords, I can upload the graphs if anyone is interested. There was certainly high levels of fraud in Milwaukee but it'll be easier to prove with the freakishly high turnout the benfords.
Not it's unfortunately just not a good application of benfords since the ward counts are all so small, here is the graph I got when doing the same type of analysis on the 2016 election in the same county.

Edit: Graph and Code
Isn't it safe to assume there was fraud in that election too?
