Well yeah. That's part of what gerrymandering does.

Well, one party seems hell-bent on getting rid of vaccines. No surprise they die sooner.

Vaccines, reasonable diets, hookwarm prevention programs, Healthcare programs. Lets face it, they are actively trying to harm their constituents at this point. Definitely no surprise they die sooner.

Correlation does not equal causation.

Democrats are a-okay with you being dead if you can't afford your health care too.

I'll let you know if I make it out fine after my bone marrow transplant. 95% success rate... So, bet on me!

The D is for “dudes who like longevity”

They're also anti-education and pro-gun. A winning combination.

Good. Doesn't make current Dems long-term better, but I'll take what I can get.

Basically, Republicans are outright self-exterminating.

Americans live five years longer, on average, in metro areas, compared to rural areas.

Democrats have more metro area districts

It's most likely not about the local leadership, but about the mindset of the voters.

Who has a better life expectancy? Person A who has health insurance and takes the necessary and recommended vaccinations, or Person B who takes Ivermecin as a cure-all without ever asking a doctors opinion until they are on the death bed and submits his baby to a measles party to gain a "healthy immunity"?

Guess which parties are Person A and Person B voting for.

assuming one can afford to live blue districts, which are often higher COL than red sdistricts. nobody wants to live in a backwaters red area.

Id be much more curious about some math being done on zip codes (and voting patterns) instead.
