Peeps need to learn that correlation in isolation is meaningless. This, like many of the correlation threads started by OP, has an explanation that does not involve Democrat vs Republican.

Repeat after me..... Covid disproportionately kills older people, Florida is FULL of old people, therefore Florida is expected to have a high death rate.
Maine is #1 in terms of states with highest % of elderly.

Their Covid numbers are amazingly low in proportion to Florida.

but the bigger point is that the OP went through some mental gymnastics to get to posting this argument.
Highest percentage of 65 and older

1 Maine 1,338 276 20.6
2 Florida 21,299 4,358 20.5
3 West Virginia 1,806 360 19.9
4 Vermont 626 121 19.4
5 Delaware 967 181 18.7
6 Montana 1,062 199 18.7
7 Hawaii 1,420 261 18.4
8 Pennsylvania 12,807 2,336 18.2
9 New Hampshire 1,356 246 18.1
10 South Carolina 5,084 900 17.7

What does the population density of Maine look like when compared to Florida? That MIGHT have something to do with why their covid numbers are so much lower

People in New Mexico, Colorado, and Michigan know how to count.
New Mexico notoriously has the worst schools in the country. Perhaps math is the one thing they're good at?

Really, this stuff is all ebb and flow. Everybody gets a turn at being the best and worst no matter their political leanings or how much they mask up or not.

Wow, seems like 5th COVID wave is building in Democratic New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan just as flu season gets started.

Republican Alabama and Republican Florida have the lowest transmission rates going into the flu season.

Those states are pretty purple. Michigan’s vaccination rate is even lower than ours in Georgia. I’d be more concerned about spikes in Massachusetts and Connecticut, that would get everyone’s attention.
