Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election?

COVID has already had an impact on the election. The census date was April 1, 2020. In March of 2020, COVID had started to severely hit NYC but was only ramping up in other areas. NY ended up losing a congressional seat in that census, by only 89 people. There’s no doubt that COVID’s timing screwed up NY State’s congressional map, and contributed to the slim Republican majority in this year’s census.
