In counties where Trump received at least 70% of the vote, COVID has killed 47 out of every 100,000 people since the end of June.

If we don't win locally, we will have fascism...elected legally.

(19,038 posts)Republicans are killing thousands of their voters a day right now. We have razor thin elections across this country. These deaths will surely flip some local and/or state elections and might even have presidential race impacts.
In Georgia, Biden won by 11,000 votes, 25,000 people have died of Covid there, most after the first waves.

Either way, the disparity is huge.

(7,408 posts)Many rural bright red counties in the south have significant Black populations for example, say 20-30%. Black people have the lowest vaccination rate. So a majority of those deaths could very well be Democratic voters.
All the grave dancing in the replies could be misplaced.

(25,257 posts)To reduce the population by 5% you would need to get it up to 5,000 out of every 100,000.
.047% will not make a dent in any election.
