doesn't help your argument when 1/4 of the states murders all happen in Mississippi's largest city. I really doubt Jackson Mississippi is a Trumpian stronghold with a murder rate of 87 per 100k.
the two Mississippi counties that cracked the top 10 were deep blue. in fact, all of the top ten murder counties were deep blue in 2020.
#1. Orleans Parish, LA. 83.1% Biden
#2. Coahoma County, Mississippi 70.8% Biden
#3. Phillips County, Arkansas 58% Biden (38% Trump)
#4. St. Louis City, Missouri 61.2% Biden
#4. Baltimore City, Maryland 87.3% Biden
#6. Petersburg City, Virginia 87.75% Biden
#7. Macon County, Alabama 81.7% Biden
#7. District of Columbia 92.1% Biden
#9. Washington County, Mississippi 69.4% Biden
#9. Dallas County, Alabama 68.5% Biden
I don't like who they vote for, but I feel much safer hanging out with Trump voters than I would Biden voters.
