The study found that overall, the excess death rate for Republican voters was 5.4 percentage points, or 76%, higher than the excess death rate for Democratic voters. After COVID-19 vaccines became widely available, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 percentage points to 10.4 percentage points.
“The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available,” the authors said in the study.

If i’m a biased researcher, i’ll pick out the two states that confirm my bias, in this case Florida and Ohio, and show stats for only those areas.
I’m not saying that these researchers are biased for sure, but I think it’s likely that this is a politically motivated study.
Yeah motivated to get Republicans to stop being in a death cult maybe
