 MP> Trump-supporting counties are doing better recovering jobs than those

 MP> "Counties around the U.S. where a majority of voters

 MP> "Through the end of the first quarter, Trump-supporting counties have

The numbers reported show an anomoly in the data that is hard to
believe.  If 124,000 is 0.3% the number of jobs prior to Covid in Trump
counties, then that number of jobs is 41 million.  If 1.7 million is
1.8% of the number of jobs prior to Covid in Biden counties, then that
number of jobs is 94 million.  While it is beliveable that Biden
counties had more jobs than Trump counties, It does not make a lot of
sense that the ratio could be 2 to 1.

I have no explanation, but there is something wrong with those numbers.
