ACCURACY IN PRESCIENT JOURNALISM: Man protests racial injustice and completes Christmas shopping is a single trip.
IF YOU LOVE COVID-19, VOTE BLUE.
Just for grins, this morning I looked up information on Red states, Blue states, and coronavirus states. The coronavirus data was from yesterday's Coronavirus Dashboard, population data was from 2019 census data, and the Red state/Blue state divide from the 270 to Win website.
States were declared Blue if 270 to Win showed them as either blue or likely blue, Red under the same criteria, and all others were declared swing states. By that criteria, there are 18 Blue states, 20 Red states, and 13 swing states (includes Washington DC).
According to the data, Blue States have 213 electoral votes, a population of 134,946,446 (40.7%), 34.7% of the confirmed coronavirus cases, and 48.2% of the deaths. Red States have 126 electoral votes, a population of 64,480,907 (19.4%), 23.2% of the confirmed coronavirus cases, and 15.5% of the deaths. Swing states have 199 electoral votes, a population of 132,392,591 (39.9%), 42,1% of the confirmed coronavirus cases, and 36.3% of the deaths.
Make of it what you will, but it looks to me like if you want to die of COVID-19, you should vote Democrat. Or move to a Blue state.
