    I wonder how many of those small donors from 2016 & 2020 are now dead from COVID given the shortfall.

      A not insignificant number. COVID-19 probably impacted the 2020 election and 2021 special elections.

      3-4%. The statistics don’t care about politics.

        But your lifestyle does impact how likely it is you die from covid. Poorer Trump voters are probably more likely to have a relatively unhealthy lifestyle; maybe more likely to smoke, perhaps less likely to do exercise, perhaps older? And I’m fairly certain that Republican voters are less likely to be vaccinated against covid.

        Not sure what your point was exactly, but wanted to point out people absolutely did not die at the same rate across the board and political affiliation (and therefore the likelihood of being vaccinated) could definitely be a factor.

          3-4% is higher than the global average by a nominal amount.
