A new Pew Research Center analysis of data on official reports of COVID-19 deaths, collected by the Johns Hopkins University finds that, nearly a quarter of all the deaths in the United States attributed to the coronavirus have been in just 12 congressional districts – all located in New York City and represented by Democrats in Congress.
Of the more than 92,000 Americans who had died of COVID-19 as of May 20 , nearly 75,000 were in Democratic congressional districts.
Of the more than 92,000 Americans who had died of COVID-19 as of May 20 , nearly 75,000 were in Democratic congressional districts.
Of the 44 hardest-hit congressional districts – the top 10% in terms of deaths – 41 are represented by Democrats, while three are represented by Republicans. These include the New York-area districts, as well as those in the Boston, Detroit and New Orleans metropolitan areas. The average death toll in each of these hardest-hit districts was 1,122 as of May 20.
The next 100 hardest-hit districts, which represent the remainder of the top third of districts, with an average of 270 deaths, also are disproportionately represented by Democrats: 75 are represented by Democrats, 25 by Republicans.
Best wishes to the blue States. You want more money/taxes .... Just a thought.
