Secretary Lee Norman contrasted the disparity in coronavirus cases between counties in Kansas with mask mandates using an axis showing new cases within a range of 15-25 in counties with mask mandates and an axis with a range of 4-14 in counties without. That display was designed to appear that counties without mandates had more cases than counties with them.

If both data sets were placed on the same axis, the counties without mask mandates had fewer coronavirus cases than those with mandates.
