I may have mixed up my colors, but the urban areas (high density
population/cities) voted overwhelmingly democratic while the less
dense areas (rural/suburban) areas voted overwhelmingly republican.
The map I saw showed about 80% of the land mass voted republican and
20% voted democratic.
But that is in keeping with past voting trends that have shown this before.
I read an article in Newsweek last Summer before the democratic
convention that examined how Obama beat out Hillary for the
nomination and it said his political team concentrated their efforts
on the high density vote rich areas to win the delegate count.
Same with the general election. Some states (Alabama is one) was not
a battleground state and Obama visited it sporadically. (We do not
have a high number of electoral votes and the vote pattern showed
high republican leanings.)
(I did mix it up I just looked red is republican and blue democratic)

Rev, are you sure about that? You're saying that urban areas voted
Republican and rural areas voted Democratic? I'll admit to not having looked
at the election maps that way, but that doesn't sound right.
