Governor Party Affiliation and Covid-19

This paper investigates the relationship between the party affiliation of state governors and the Covid-19 death and infection rates. There have been many studies done since the start of the pandemic that cover the relationship of individual health behavior and political views as well as studies done on the different timing in social distancing implementation. This paper tries to add to this research by seeing if the views of the party in charge for each state is reflected by their constituents.
