It(Benfords) was used in federal court in 2015 in US v Channom and the judge upheld it’s use because it had been accepted in the particular software community as indicating fraud. It was not upheld in Fed Court in NY in 2020 because they provided no support that “legitamtely created financial data sets generally follow Benfords law”. So it seems like it would be up to the lawyers/parties to establish Benfords law was relevant to the elections. Not sure about Doc Shivas because I don’t know what it’s called.
