The Benford's law thing is pretty simple really, in the cases I saw presented about the election the data set simply wasn't appropriate to use it with. You need a couple of orders of magnitude in the data, and if all your precincts are about the same size and all the votes are in the same range then Benford's law simply doesn't work.
