Please define "partisan bungling" given that Florida has a lower death rate(1) and faster vaccine rollout(2) than the US average, while keeping schools open in accordance with expert recommendations.

Shhh! Can't let the facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Funny to see you getting downvotes when you’re entirely correct. I wonder if the downvote brigade thinks Cuomo/Murphy did a good job.

That's the whole point of this thing: You're pointing to Florida's numbers and assuming "no bungling". This person arrested is alleging that Florida has been fudging the numbers to make their situation look much better than it is.

  This person arrested is alleging that Florida has been fudging the numbers to make their situation look much better than it is. Except she's not. Here's the dashboard that she set up after being fired: https://floridacovidaction.com/ https://floridacovidaction.com/. And here's the official state data: https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429 https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38.... The numbers are virtually identical. There is exactly as much evidence for the claim that Florida is falsifying data as there is for the claim that Trump really won the election.

    Florida was falsifying data, got caught, and stopped.

  "Fudging the numbers" is a vague accusation. If I arbitrarily add $1 to net profit on my company's annual report, then I've "cooked the books" but who cares. If you read the emails related to this case, it's clear that the behavior she describes as "fudging the numbers" has no material impact on Florida's Covid-19 reporting.

    You're correct, but I'm not saying they definitely fudged the numbers, or what method they might have used. I'm saying the allegation is that they fudged them, and therefore you can't simply point to the official numbers to support the claim that they did not fudge them. The way to refute that claim is with transparency and addressing this woman's specific complaints. Of course the state isn't really obligated to refute every claim made against them, but whether they do it don't, I'm only saying that the state is only denying her claim, snot actual evidence to support their counter claim of no manipulation of the data.

  People also need to realize the numbers may look identical now but they were manipulated and changed a lot before the election and after. It was plain as day manipulation. Now that this is exposed DeSantis had to fix the numbers back to reality and he’s paying Rebekah Jones back for making his life difficult.
