Reply to comment by November_Grit in [OC] heart disease mortality, with GDP and life expectancy –– 2020 election by terrykrohe

It doesn't really tell you anything because states aren't monolithic. For instance black men are the most susceptible demographic to heart disease and the states with the most black people are almost all Republican. However that doesn't mean all the black men in those states are Republicans.

Maybe, but as an outsider it looks like there is a strong correlation between being working class and the Republicans.

More like a weak correlation. More working class people are Republicans than Democrats, but not by some huge margin.

in other words, identifying a state as "rural' or "Rep" is less an indication of Black population than of White population (posted 03jun2021)
