“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.

“In counties where Trump won less than 32% of the vote, the number is 10 out of 100,000”

Their plan assumes MAGA hats on every legislator, councilman, school board member, and elections board.

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

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.

Have to deal with today right now; can deal with the junior idiots after we save democracy.

Justice matters.

The one I saw said GQP voter were dying of COVID at a rate 10 times higher than that of democratic voters.

Either way, the disparity is huge.

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.

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.
