I stumbled across the analysis below. Without wanting to be political, I'm sure that there is some valid explanation, but I'm curious. They Jupyter notebooks on github here: https://github.com/cjph8914/2020_benfords seem to show discrepancies in electoral data in Alleghany PA, Chicago IL, and Milwaukee WI. What is missing from their analysis? Is there a way to explain this (bad data, bad analysis, etc)? Should oddities be examined more closely?
