Experts Surprised to Find No Evidence of COVID-19 Spike From State’s In-Person Voting

Among the many stories peddled by Democrats and their allies in the media about how Republicans supposedly want people to die from the coronavirus, perhaps none have been more prominent than the in-person election held April 7 in Wisconsin. Experts confidently predicted that the election would lead to a spike in coronavirus-related deaths.

Democratic strategist James Carville actually said that “Republicans will literally kill people to stay in power,” and he was not alone.

The state of Wisconsin could identify only about two dozen in-person voters who were infected with coronavirus, and it was impossible to prove that even those people got the virus from voting in person, as opposed to any other method.

“With the data we have, we can’t prove an association,” said the head of the state’s Department of Health Services, according to National Review. . .

Oguzhan Alagoz, an infectious disease modeling expert at the University of Wisconsin, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, “I don’t think that the in-person election led to a major effect, to my surprise.
