I'm not sure you can make any conclusions if only 10% of all colleges and
universities are requiring vaccines. I think you'll need to wait for more
colleges and universities to require vaccines before you can come to any
conclusion of Republican vs. Democrat states.
I mean, just throwing a dart at the dartboard, you're more likely to hit a
college or university that is not requiring vaccines. I.e., you cannot
calculate an expectation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value )
with so few data points.
