Look, this isn't solely a Red/Blue thing. Noted sexual creep Andrew Cuomo screwed around with the Covid deaths in nursing homes in the early days of the pandemic.
What Florida is doing is more overt. They are updating their death totals every week rather than daily. This has managed a bit to hide the impact of the epidemic. All the other states in the Covid Hot Zone publish their deaths daily. Their chart looks like an upward slope, Florida's looks like steps: flat for a week then a huge jump, then flat for a week.
Given what a mendacious shitbag Ron DeathSantis is, it's really hard not to think that he's screwing around with those death numbers. If you want an unhealthy dose of schadenfreude, check out the website that keeps track of the deaths of anti-vaxxers. LOTS of Florida on there.
