So in other words, trump voters are a virus spreading cult? I kind of thought that.Mike wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 1:06 pmA fascinating map:

It shows the correlation of virus outbreak to 2020 election data. Note that the first wave of the virus hit in ‘blue’ districts, as one would expect when a pandemic arrives from overseas. But from summer 2020 to now? The increases are directly predicted by the electoral map! Where trump voters hold sway, so does covid.
Yeah well….. it’s good to have the data that shows it. Particularly since the relentlessness of this virus is affecting Biden’s polling. One might *almost* imagine GOP leaders, knowing that would occur, seeking to keep the virus rolling - and utterly willing to sacrifice the lives of many of their own constituents to do that.Randi wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 1:50 pmSo in other words, trump voters are a virus spreading cult?

That is for only one county, but it doesn't specify the county or state.Mike wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 1:06 pmA fascinating map:

Look at it again. Where you are reading “percent of the county” does not mean “percent of one county in the nation”. It means “for each county, the percent of the county that voted Republican”.Senor Natural wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 3:06 amThat is for only one county, but it doesn't specify the county or state.Mike wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 1:06 pmA fascinating map:

That very well could be meaningless elsewhere

I don't have access to that data, but your graph is still skewed, therefore tells on a partial truth at best.Mike wrote: ↑Tue Sep 07, 2021 12:17 amTo do those, SN, you’d have to have access to census data and/or voter registration data. That’s different than voting results data.
So go ahead, and do the comparisons you’ve referenced and get back to us. IF your results show something significantly different, THEN you get to say the graph is garbage. I’ll be eager to see what you got.
Btw, punctuation and spelling are your friends. Try ‘em sometime.
