Haha, I know it’s Benford’s Law (not Theory). I’m not denying the mathematical law. I was denying that proves voter fraud in a way that somehow eluded election experts, but was only noticed by a guy with an unhinged Trump-worshipping propaganda site.
I quickly founding a paper questioning the premise, and you have found counters to that. Fair enough. But the fact remains that people who actually have expertise in how elections work are not concerned. I think it’s important not to draw strong conclusions in an area that’s not your area of specialty, when those who do specialize in it say something different.
Meanwhile, there are hyper-partisan propaganda outlets, along with our soon to be ex president, spreading verifiable lies about voter fraud. This is dangerous and harmful and honestly makes me pretty upset. I don’t want anything even adjacent to that on this site…. and this conversation was adjacent enough that I just didn’t want it here. Thanks for taking it in stride.
