Original Note:
Saying that a state's governor "killed people" is an overstatement. TX Gov. Abbott has some indirect responsibility: appointing PUC officials, which in turn oversee ERCOT, manager of the state's electrical grid. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/25/texas-house-senate-ercot/ Also 700 deaths is a BuzzFeed estimate; official total is 151.
