Some people have been posting an academic article on how this law has been deboonked. Don't let this confuse you, the article was heavily criticised by other papers.

Benfords law has been reboonked, effectively.

Milwaukee was stolen don't get me wrong, but Benford's law really doesn't apply here. Benford applies to natural numbers. Milwaukee election wards are artifically designated with a narrow range of voters. Biden's and Trump's charts both perfectly reflect a 70-30 split of the median ward size.
