Regions With Highest Opioid Use Strongly Backed Trump In 2016, Study Finds

A new study has reported that in those parts of the nation with the highest rates of chronic opioid prescription, Donald Trump won overwhelming support in the 2016 presidential election

In 693 counties with “significantly higher” than average rates of opioid prescriptions, Trump won about 60 percent of the vote, according to the study published Friday in the medical journal JAMA Network Open.

In 638 counties with “significantly lower” than average opioid prescription rates, Trump won only about 39 percent of the vote, according to the study.

The areas with the high rates of opioid use were largely concentrated in the South and Appalachia with high unemployment rates and lower median incomes

In other words, Trump voters had impaired judgment - Perhaps ALL future voters need to be drug tested before they vote?? Wouldn't that be something.
