The state and local payouts are based on population. Red states are getting just as much money as blue states and for the same reasons. Good job regurgitating the blatently manufactured talking points though.
"
Amounts paid to States, the District of Columbia, U.S. Territories, and eligible units of local government are based on population as provided in the CARES Act. The CARES Act directs Treasury to use U.S. Census Bureau data for the most recent year for which data is available. The amount of payments made to each State was reduced by the aggregate amount of payments that was disbursed to eligible local governments within such State that provided the required certifications to Treasury."
