U.S. voters went to the polls starkly divided on how they see President Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, with a surprising twist: In places where the virus is most rampant now, Trump enjoyed enormous support.
An Associated Press analysis reveals that in 376 counties with the highest number of new cases per capita, the overwhelming majority — 93% of those counties — went for Trump, a rate above other less severely hit areas. Most were rural areas in Montana, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Taking note of the contrast, state health officials are pausing for a moment of introspection. Even as they worry about rising numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, they hope to reframe their messages and aim for a reset on public sentiment now that the election is over.

I'm just saying it happens! 
"...376 counties with the highest number of new cases per capita, the overwhelming majority — 93% of those counties — went for Trump,..."
...when you kill off your voters you receive less votes...
...think about it...
Hoodwinked thinking challenged stooges who are too lazy to take the time to think it through and actually do 15 mins of research instead of sending death threats and other unsettling malarkey?
That group that is willing to ignore the death count vs. the rest of earth, and still think, oh he's doing a fine job?
That group of folks that thought it was fine to be packed in like sardines to see Dear Leader who had just recently although not exactly 100% proven had the C-19?
That group of folks is now sick is such a huge surprise, I am glad I was sitting down.
