Original Note:
Republicans have died at higher rates of COVID-19 generally. However the party is generally skewed towards an older population. As older people are susceptible to COVID-19, this affects statistical outcomes in deaths. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2020/06/02/the-changing-composition-of-the-electorate-and-partisan-coalitions/ Median age of death for party differences here is 78. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths
