Very Cool Project. Could you also plot the distribution of leading digits in the number of registered voters and number of ballots per voting district?

In cities where the votes are heavily skewed to one candidate or another, the distribution of leading digits of votes for that candidate should be highly correlated to the leading digit of the number of ballots. Would number of registered voters and number of ballots follow Benford's law?
