26 republican governors
24 democrat governors

21 States with stay at home orders(per CNN): what party governor?
CA-D
CO-D
CT-D
DE-D
HI-D
ID-R
IL-D
IN-R
LA-D
MA-R
MI-D
MN-D
NJ-D
NM-D
NY-D
OH-R
OR-D
VT-R
WA-D
WV-R former democrat switched parties
WI-D

15 D and 6 R

States closing all essentials business but not issuing a stay at home order:
NV-D
MD-R
VA-D
KY-D
3 D 1 R

18 D run states out of 24 or 75%of D run states vs 7 R run states out of 26 or 27% of R run states.

only 4 states with both R gov and R legislatures(IN,ID, OH, WV)

While voting for one political party over the other doesn't automatically save u from the worst impulses of gov control, it does seem one political party is more likely to immediately err on the side of restricting freedom than the other during a crisis
