In reply to the discussion: Republicans warned their self-destructive COVID behavior is 'killing off their voter base' [View all]Johnny2X2X
(19,042 posts)14. State by state
In Georgia for instance, Biden won by 11,000 votes. 25,000 Georgians have died of Covid. If those dead skew Trump voters by 5,000, Biden's margin of victory could have been 16,000.
Florida was about a 350,000 margin of victory for Trump, Florida also is lying about their Covid deaths, that margin could have been shaved to under 300K. And think governor and Senate elections in 2022. Some of those races are going to be razor thin. 10,000 less Trump voters could swing a state.

That is a really good question they have yet to answer. Seems everything is revenge based
