This study explores the relationship between local government dissemination of COVID-19 information and partisanship The unit of analysis is all official county government websites in the United States In particular, we investigate if there is a correlation between the overall partisanship of a county and whether a county government\'s website 1) mentions COVID-19, and 2) provides safety instructions concerning COVID-19 We hypothesize that mass partisanship will impact the probability that a county government\'s website provides information related to the coronavirus We find that a larger share of Democratic voters in a county is associated with an increase in the probability that a county government\'s website mentions COVID-19 and provides safety instructions for their residents The results hold even after controlling for population density, internet subscriptions, and COVID-19 cases and deaths The finding indicates that citizens\' access to information, even on matters of public health, are partially a consequence of partisanship © 2020 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins All rights reserved
