There are Benford's Law deniers all over Algore's intertubes. Like any statistical principle, it can be misused, but the claim that "Benford's Law does not apply to elections" is a lie. I've posted an image of a run of a simple Python program with numbers from the Presidential election in Texas. Why Texas? Simple - with 254 counties, Texas has far more than any other state (Georgia is second with 149) Note that the first-digit percentages of both the Biden and Trump totals are close to what Benford's Law predicts.
