Walter Mebane uses Benford's Law on the second digit as a more reliable system to detect electoral fraud: http://www.umich.edu/~wmebane/pm06.pdf http://www.umich.edu/~wmebane/pm06.pdf Furthermore, it is interesting to note that he pointed out in 2006 that the results of the Mexican presidential election seemed fraudulent and he recommended a recount. But at that time the mainstream media seemed quite happy with the official winner, so they didn't talk about it, even when over two million Mexicans protested in Mexico City over the election results. The mainstream media decided to ignore all the statistical evidence of fraud, and just label the other candidate a a "sore loser".
