And the OP is disingenuous by representing the land masses and comparing them to how they voted. It’s people, not land mass.
Land Mass does not count and neither does the mythical popular vote.
Most cities are blue but not completely blue. Each city has a major red component. The further South and mid-west the blue and the red are almost 50-50. So if you add the rural which is 90-10 red with the city red component it is a majority.
