Inspired by a post I saw on Reddit, I decided to analyze the 2008 NH Primary Election results using Benford's Law.

Benford's Law basically states that if you take a data set, examine the first digit of each number and tallied all the 1's, 2's, 3's, and so forth, you would see far more 1's, 2's and 3's than 7's, 8's and 9's, as shown in the chart/graph below:
