Why do Biden's votes not follow Benford's Law?

My book is cheap at Waterstones and signed at Maths Gear: https://www.waterstones.com/book/humb... https://mathsgear.co.uk/products/humb... Check out Steve Mould's Numberphile video about Benford's Law.    • Number 1 and Benford's Law - Numberphile   Buy a signed copy of "How Many Socks Make a Pair?" by Rob Eastaway. https://mathsgear.co.uk/products/copy... There’s more on Mark Nigrini’s work here: http://www.nigrini.com/benfords-law/ "Benford's Law and the Detection of Election Fraud" 2011 paper. https://www.cambridge.org/core/journa... And for balance, here is a paper critical of that other paper (but only in the use of a 'second digit' check and they do not dispute the main Benford's Law claims.). https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/e667... And here is a paper by the same author specifically about the 2020 US election results: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmeban... Get your Chicago Board of Election Commissioners data here! https://chicagoelections.gov/en/elect... Yep, 2069 precincts. Some would say that's too many. https://data.cityofchicago.org/Facili... If you must, here are links to people using Benford's Law to suggest the Biden votes were fraudulent. Please do no harass or brigade anyone. https://github.com/cjph8914/2020_benf... https://jonsnewplace.wordpress.com/20... CORRECTIONS Hello loyal viewer. If you are reading this you most likely regularly watch my videos and know that I put corrections here. But the comment section on this video has been, to put it lightly, "wild". I don't think anyone is checking the corrections here! So I'm going to break with tradition and put the corrections in a pinned comment. But in short: I should have said I used the Chicago data (instead of a swing state, let's say) because that is what people claiming election fraud were using. I didn't pick it myself to make a point. Foolishly I cut a bit of the video where I talk about how Trump's data is also a bad Benford fit but that massive spike of 1s makes it look like a good match. Check out how low 3, 4 and 5 are. There has been specific criticism of aspects of that paper I read from, but only the usual back-and-forth of academics. Everyone agrees with the idea that Benford is not a magic tool to detect election fraud (nor is any statistical tool really; they all require careful interpretation). As always, let me know if you spot any other mistakes. Thanks to my Patreon supporters who mean I can spend TWO DAYS trawling through election stats and making plots. I'm meant to be writing a new book you know. So, thanks a lot.   / standupmaths   As always: thanks to Jane Street who support my channel.
