We look at the COVID-19 confirmed cases for US counties compared to various demographics, vaccinations and Presidential election results.
Vaccinations
Vaccination data per county are from: https://data.cdc.gov/Vaccinations/COVID-19-Vaccinations-in-the-United-States-County/8xkx-amqh/data
Confirmed cases per county data are from: https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map/

In Fig 1 it is seen that counties that voted for Biden have a higher vaccination rate. The average full vaccinations for Beiden are 44% +- 16% versus for Trump 36% +- 13%.
The trendline in Fig 2 shows a negative slope indicating the more the county leans to Trump the less likely people are to be vaccinated.
Looking in more detail at the Trump and Biden election return distributions we see below:

It is seen in Fig 3 that there are over four times more counties won by Trump compared to counties won by Biden. This can also be observed in Fig 4 by looking at a map of results by county from https://brilliantmaps.com/2020-county-election-map/
