#7. Great comment re Benfords Law
Looks like a basis for a legal position

I’m skeptical of Bedford’s Law being valid in a situation involving multiple precincts of approximately the same size.
It requires entries that span several orders of magnitude, but with precincts of similar size and one party expected to take a large percentage of the vote across the entire city, I’m not sure that the requirement is met. In fact, it seems like it would not be met.
For example, if most precincts were of 600 to 800 voters and one party was expected to get 70-90% in each, that party would have very few entries starting with “1” and a lot starting with 4,5,6, or 7.
