Can you show though that the red states are reporting less than the blue states are? Because this standard of reporting applies to all states including the blue ones.


yes, you can literally show that red states are more likely to have a smaller share of their population covered by the reporting agencies

no, this doesn't refute your overall point because what you said is still plausibly true (e.g., Texas has fewer reports than California)

but it also shows that it could be that they are reporting for fewer months out of the year, for instance

that is why it cautions not to use the data the way that you are
