Trump Voters Aren't Staying In As Much As Everybody Else

Its pretty hard to tell specifically what has been counted. Theres a totall number (n2000) and a percentage of 2 specific counties. Imo that's a pretty vague determination.

How many people in each county had their locations tracked? Counties are large and include tight knit cities and expanded rural areas. Its a lot harder staying away from people in a metropolis compared to national forest land for instance.

And how many of these people are considered essential workers? That alone is something that can offset the social distance rules. If you're not one, you don't really have a reason to be out in the public except for the necessity of grocery shopping etc, while essential work changes drastically depending on what it is.

What times are they tracking these people? Is it just pinging a notification any time someone breaks the distance for 10 minutes like Israel and other places are doing? Are they watching over specific time frames like 9am to 5pm or something thats set in the sample?

Unless there is a breakdown of much more specific info, its difficult to make that assumption that so many of the top comments in this thread are making
