I know they say correlation does not imply causation, but…

I bet it’s even more distinct if visualized per-capita

Why not use the 2020 election?

Really shows the effect of big cities vs following mandate

This is likely more of a reflection of infectious disease spreading from urban, dense areas to rural areas given the timescale that is shown and not necessarily politicization of lockdown.

I think some of this is driven by location. Republican voters are clustered in the South. Texas, Florida, the deep South. People who live in that area are indoors in the summer and that’s when covid really spread.
Democratic voters are a little more spread out but they have strongholds in the Northeast and the Northwest, in Chicago and some of the upper Midwest. People who live in those areas are indoors in the winter, and that’s when covid really spread.
I’ll bet you if you extend these lines for another calendar year, you’d see the red line dip in the winter and the blue line rise again. That’s not to say that the demonization of the vaccine and the advocacy for quack remedies doesn’t have a differential impact here, but I’ll bet it isn’t the primary driver.

Early in the pandemic less populated places did less testing. Those places are much more likely to have voted for Trump.
For the first person in WV to be officially diagnosed with COVID, his wife had to force the doctors to test him.

That seems useless without a per capita

Estimate of blue line volume: 1.60M
