Why are you doing this? It just makes you look silly.
It is a claim made by two people, is it not?
What is the evidence that their claim is true?

I don't think they'd let you take the popcorn and beer in... and boy, would you ever need them!
I'm curious; has anyone out there applied Benford's Law to the 2000 and 2004 elections? I'm thinking if you took the half-ass and incomplete data from different reports back then during election day, you'd get the same effed-up results as armchair mathematicians are getting now. I searched interwebs and couldn't find anything (because every page out there mentioned Benfords is only interested in this election).
This is as absolutely loony as it gets:
OAN and Louis Gohmert claim U.S. military has seized secret server in Germany that prove Trump got 410 electoral votes.
Okay, I admit that I accept the above -- but I have no evidence that I do.
It is very easy to do the kind of analysis that was done for this election. A spreadsheet and the data from the web page is trivial for someone with a little bit of interest and a few hours of time. There are lots of people like that.
The fact that you haven't seen it means that when people did it, it didn't show what they wanted it to show, so they didn't present it.
Vote counts by precinct have never followed Benford's Law for any election, including this one. That includes the data sets linked earlier where the author claimed that some of the data (the Trump data) followed Benford's law. It didn't, which is no surprise, because it shouldn't.
Are you serious? Both parties agree on what was said.
Fascinating reading Popehat's thread on the arguments in the Pennsylvania court case proceeding right now. Sadly, he's having audio issues and can no longer hear what's happening in the courtroom.

You wouldn't credit my intuitive recognition, would you? Nah, didn't think so.
In a 5-2 decision this afternoon, the @SupremeCtofPA has ruled that Phila Bd of Elections acted properly in setting up its access rules for canvass observers, rejecting Trump efforts (and an intermediate court ruling) seeking closer access.

So where does that put the count?
I must be missing something. There are only two sides involved. They both confirm. They have opposing motivations. Done.Yes. Two people agree the claim is true. Most claims have substantially more than two people claiming it.

Not just throwing one on the L pile, it's taking one off the W pile... well if you count a stack of 1 a pile. The ruling reverses a lower court ruling that Trump won several days ago. Basically it is saying that the distance limits for observers that were in place were legal and the lower court should not have required a 6ft distance.
This ruling seems to pull the feet from under Trump's main legal arguments for invalidating thousands of ballots.
So they're now 0 for 23?
