All three would be relevant. 

For example, Maryland is heavy blue but with a GOP governor. He is mostly responding to the will of the liberal population, which puts him at odds with many high profile governors. The fact that he is a Republican, the legislature is a veto proof Dem majority, and the state voted heavy Clinton all play into that. 

Louisiana has a blue governor but heavy red legislature and went heavy Trump. Their governor is trying to implement covid rules but is having their GOP AG push back on it as illegal. 

Beyond ideology, we'd also need to see it groups by mask and closure policies, which then could also have their own ideological graphs to see if thse policies correlate to party.
