—70 of the 100 counties with the highest rate of infection voted for Donald Trump...and 22 of the other 30 are in states Trump won.

—The 100 counties with the highest *mortality* rate are split 50/50 between ones won by Clinton and Trump.

—The first NY county to now show up on the per capita case list is Rockland County at #33.

—The first Michigan County is Oceana County at #384

—Wayne County, including Detroit, doesn't show up until #535.

84% of all counties voted for Trump. However, of the 100 highest-positive rate counties...

3/20: 51 Trump counties, 49 Clinton counties.
4/05: 57 Trump
5/12: 59 Trump
6/06: 62 Trump
7/11: 65 Trump
7/18: 68 Trump
7/25: 70 Trump

Se a pattern?

Here's per capita cases in counties which voted for Clinton vs. counties which voted for Trump. They're converging at a slower pace than at the state level, but still converging...Clinton counties went from having a 2.3x higher case rate in mid-May to a 1.4x higher rate today.
